Musnad Abi Ya'la 740 — from Sayyiduna Sa'd concerning the saying
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَنْقَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا خَلَّادُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الصَّفَارُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ {الر تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ نَحْنُ نَقَصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ الْقَصَصِ} [يوسف: 2] الْآيَةَ، قَالَ: نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَتَلَاهُ عَلَيْهِمْ زَمَانًا، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لَوْ قَصَصْتَ عَلَيْنَا؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا {الر تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا} [يوسف: 1] الْآيَةَ، فَتَلَاهُ عَلَيْهِمْ زَمَانًا، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لَوْ حَدَّثْتَنَا؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {اللَّهُ نَزَّلَ أَحْسَنَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابًا مُتَشَابِهًا} [الزمر: 23] الْآيَةَ، كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يُؤْمَرُونَ بِالْقُرْآنِ، قَالَ أَبِي: قَالَ خَلَّادٌ: وَزَادَنِي فِيهِ غَيْرُهُ: قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لَوْ ذَكَّرْتَنَا؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهِمْ لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ} [الحديد: 16]
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty, "Alif Lam Ra. These are the verses of the clear Book. Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an so that you may understand. We narrate to you the best of stories": he said: The Qur'an was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and for a period he (peace and blessings be upon him) kept reciting it to the Companions. Then they said: "O Messenger of Allah! If only you would tell us some stories." So Allah Almighty revealed the verses "Alif Lam Ra. These are the verses of the clear Book. Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an." For a period he (peace and blessings be upon him) kept reciting these to them. Then they said: "O Messenger of Allah! If only you would speak to us of some matters." So Allah Almighty revealed the verse "Allah has sent down the best of speech, a Book whose verses resemble one another." On all these occasions they were commanded (to turn) to the Qur'an itself. Khallad (may Allah have mercy on him) said that another narrator added this for him: They said: "O Messenger of Allah! If only you would admonish us." So Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Has the time not come for those who believe that their hearts should humble themselves at the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth?"
