787. (There is another chain) from Yazīd Al-Fārīsī that Ibn 'Abbās narrated it to him, with similar meaning (as no. 786). He said in it: "So the Messenger of Allāh! ﷺ was taken away from us, and he did not clarify to us whether it was a part of it." (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: Ash-Sha'bī, Abū Mālik, Qatādah, and Thābit bin 'Umārah all said that the Prophet ﷺ did not write Bismillāhir-Raḥmānir-Raḥīm until Sūrat An-Naml was revealed.[1]
787 - حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَوْفٌ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الْفَارِسِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، بِمَعْنَاهُ قَالَ فِيهِ: فَقُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَنَا أَنَّهَا مِنْهَا، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: قَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ، وَأَبُومَالِكٍ، وَقَتَادَةُ، وَثَابِتُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ: إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَكْتُبْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ سُورَةُ النَّمْلِ هَذَا مَعْنَاهُ

[1] The first few Sūrahs are called 'The Seven Long Ones', due to their length. These are followed by the Mīn Sūrahs of the Qur'an, so called since they each number around a hundred verses in length. These are followed by the Mathānī, so called since they are frequently recited (during the prayers). All Sūrahs of the Qur'an have the Basmalah written at the beginning of them, except for the ninth Sūrah, known as Sūrah Barā'ah or Surat At-Tawbah. In this narration, Ibn 'Abbas asked 'Uthmān why he joined Barā'ah with Al-Anfāl (meaning why he placed them next to each other in order), even though in his opinion each was of a different category of Sūrah. 'Uthmān replied that the content of the two Sūrahs resembled one other, and the Prophet ﷺ passed away before explaining where to place them (in contrast to other Sūrahs and Verses, which were placed in specific sections by the explicit command of the Prophet ﷺ), hence he placed them together.
