حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ النَّاقِدُ ، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ : حَدَّثَنِي ، وقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ : حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ يَعْنُونَ ابْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ " أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ تَابَعَ الْوَحْيَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ ، وَأَكْثَرُ مَا كَانَ الْوَحْيُ يَوْمَ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, sent revelation to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) just before his death in quick succession until he left for his heavenly home, and the day when he died, he received the revelation profusely.

Hadith Commentary:
The meaning is that in the early period of Prophethood, Surah Iqra was revealed, and then for a period, revelation was suspended. After that, it continued to be revealed successively. Then, when the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) migrated to Madinah, a large portion of the Qur'an was revealed in the latter part of his life, because the series of Islamic conquests increased. As matters and cases of Prophethood began to arise, more Qur'an was revealed.

Hadith Commentary:
1.
In the early period of Prophethood, after the initial verses of Surah Al-‘Alaq were revealed, there was a period during which revelation was suspended. After that, the process of revelation began continuously. Then, when you (the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) migrated to Madinah Tayyibah, the necessities increased and the descent of revelation also became more frequent. Near the time of the passing of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, revelation was sent down continuously, successively, and in greater abundance, because after the conquest of Makkah, delegations began to arrive in large numbers, who asked many questions regarding rulings and issues, the answers to which were given through revelation. When the series of Islamic conquests increased, due to the matters and cases that arose, the Noble Qur’an was also revealed in greater quantity. Also, during the period of revelation in Makkah Mukarramah, long surahs were not revealed. After the migration, the revelation of long surahs took place, meaning that in the final period, a great deal of revelation was sent down upon the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. In terms of this condition, this hadith is in accordance with the chapter heading.
2.
It should be noted that Imam Zuhri asked Hazrat Anas radi Allahu anhu whether the process of revelation had ceased before the passing of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Hazrat Anas radi Allahu anhu replied that this was not the case; rather, before his passing, a great deal of revelation was sent down because the need for it had increased. (: Fath al-Bari: 11/9)
