Mus'ab bin Sa'd narrates from his father that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to receive the Qur'an, and for a long time he recited it before the people. The people said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! If you would relate some stories to us (it would be a kindness). So Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: «الر تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ» The verse continues: "We relate to you the best of stories." The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) recited this verse before the people for a long time. Then the people said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! If you would tell us something (it would be a kindness). So Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: Allah has sent down the best statement as a Book, consistent in its parts. So all were commanded according to the Qur'an.
The narrator named Khallad has added these words in his narration: When the people said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Advise us, so Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: Has the time not come for the hearts of those who believe to be humbled to the remembrance of Allah?
