Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 7638 — I said to the Commander of the Believers
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعْدَانَ الْعَتَايِدِيُّ الشِّيرَازِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ أَخْزَمَ ، نَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الْفَارِسِيِّ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى أَنْ جَعَلْتُمْ بَرَاءَةً مِنَ الْمِئِينَ وَالْأَنْفَالَ مِنَ الْمَثَانِي ، فَقَرَنْتُمُوهُمَا وَجَعَلْتُمُوهُمَا فِي السَّبْعِ الطِّوَالِ ، وَلَمْ تَكْتُبُوا بَيْنَهُمَا : بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ؟ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ مِمَّا يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ السُّوَرِ ذَوَاتُ الْعَدَدِ ، فَكَانَ إِذَا أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْآيَةُ قَالَ لِبَعْضِ مَنْ يَكْتُبُ : اجْعَلُوا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فِي سُورَةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، وَإِنَّ الْأَنْفَالَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ مَا أُنْزِلَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ، وَكَانَتْ بَرَاءَةٌ آخِرَ الْقُرْآنِ ، فَمَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَنَا ، وَرَأَيْتُ قِصَّتَهَا تُشْبِهُ قِصَّتَهَا ، فَلِذَلِكَ ضَمَمْتُهَمَا مَعًا ، وَلَمْ أَكْتُبْ بَيْنَهُمَا : بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ I "
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ إِلَّا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : زَيْدُ بْنُ أَخْزَمَ I " .

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I said to the Commander of the Believers, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him): "What led you to join Surah Bara'ah, which is one of the 'Mi'in', and Surah al-Anfal, which is one of the 'Mathani', together and place them among the seven long surahs (al-Sab' al-Tiwal), without writing 'Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)' between them?" Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Among the surahs that were revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) were several long ones (with many verses), and whenever a verse was revealed to him (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) would call one of the scribes and say: 'Place this verse in such-and-such a surah.' Surah al-Anfal is among the first surahs revealed in Madinah, and Surah Bara'ah was revealed at the end of the Qur'an. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away and he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not make (its arrangement) clear to us, and I saw that its content resembled the content of that (Surah al-Anfal), so I joined the two together and did not write 'Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim' between them."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ash'ath, from Awf, except Sa'id bin Amir; Zayd bin Akhzam is alone in narrating it."
