1007. It was narrated from 'Abdullāh that a man came to him and said: "Last night I recited Al-Muṣṣal in one Rak'ah." He said: "That is like reciting poetry. But the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to recite similar Sūrahs, twenty Sūrahs from Al-Muṣṣal, those that start with Ḥa-Mīm." (Sahīh)
1006 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنُ وَثَّابٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي قَرَأْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ الْمُفَصَّلَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ. فَقَالَ: «هَذًّا كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ، لَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ النَّظَائِرَ عِشْرِينَ سُورَةً مِنَ الْمُفَصَّلَ مِنْ آلِ حم»

The arrangement of Surahs in the written copy of the Qur'an belonging to Ibn Mas'ud ؓ was a little different from the copy of Uthman ؓ. Therefore, the arrangement of Mufassal Surahs in his copy differed from the Glorious Qur'an that we have in our hands. Ubayy ibn Ka'b possessed a copy of the Qur'an, which had in it Surahs chronologically arranged according to the sequence of their revelation. (Tartib Nuzuli: Revelatory sequential arrangement).
