It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Mufassal (surahs) were revealed in Makkah, and we stayed (there) for several years reciting them, and no other (surahs) besides them were being revealed."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one other than Hudayj bin Mu'awiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated this hadith through Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) from Abdullah bin Habib Abu Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him)."
