Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 2634

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لَا يَعْرِفُ خَاتِمَةَ السُّورَةِ حَتَّى تَنْزِلَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ، فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ عَرِفَ أَنَّ السُّورَةَ قَدْ خُتِمَتْ وَاسْتُقْبِلَتْ - أَوِ ابْتُدِئَتْ سُورَةٌ أُخْرَى - .
قُلْتُ : اقْتَصَرَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ مِنْهُ عَلَى قَوْلِهِ : لَا يَعْرِفُ خَاتِمَةَ السُّورَةِ حَتَّى تَنْزِلَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ .
رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ بِإِسْنَادَيْنِ رِجَالُ أَحَدِهِمَا رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not know the end of a surah until "Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim" was revealed. When "Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim" was revealed, it became known that the surah had ended and the next surah had begun, or that another surah had started (that is, the narrator was unsure of the wording here). (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Abu Dawud recorded only these words of this narration: "He would not know the end of a surah until Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim was revealed."
Al-Bazzar recorded it with two chains, and the narrators of one of them are the narrators of the "Sahih".
