Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32093 — Those who disliked saying
٣٢٠٩٣ - [حدثنا حفص عن عاصم عن ابن سيرين قال: لا تقل سورة قصيرة ولا سورة خفيفة، قال: فكيف أقول؟ قال: قل: سورة كبيرة فإن اللَّه ﵎ قال: ﴿وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُدَّكِرٍ﴾ [القمر: ١٧]، ولا تقل: خفيفة، فإن اللَّه قال: ﴿إِنَّا سَنُلْقِي عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًا ثَقِيلًا﴾] (١) [المدثر: ٥].
Asim said: Ibn Sirin said: "Do not say 'a short surah', and do not say 'a light surah'." The narrator said: I asked: "Then how should I say it?" He said: "Say: 'an easy surah', for Allah has said: 'And We have certainly made this Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there anyone who will take heed?' [Al-Qamar: 17] And do not say 'a light surah', for Allah has said: 'We are going to send down upon you a weighty word.'" [Al-Muzzammil: 5]
