Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) transmits this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "In place of the Torah I have been given the seven (surahs); in place of the Psalms (Zabur) I have been given the Mi'in (surahs of about a hundred verses); in place of the Gospel (Injil) I have been given the "Mathani"; and I have been granted excellence through the Mufassal."
Ahmad recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded something similar.
