أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سَيْفٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، وَمَسْرُوقٍ، وَعَبِيدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ الْقُصْرَى، نَزَلَتْ بَعْدَ الْبَقَرَةِ .
Abu Dawud Sulayman ibn Sayf informed us; he said: al-Hasan—who is Ibn A'yan—narrated to us; he said: Zuhayr narrated to us. And Muhammad ibn Isma'il ibn Ibrahim informed me; he said: Yahya narrated to us; he said: Zuhayr ibn Mu'awiyah narrated to us; he said: Abu Ishaq narrated to us, from al-Aswad, Masruq, and Abidah, from Abd Allah, that the shorter Surah of Women (Surah At-Talaq) was revealed after al-Baqarah.
Translation notes
The Arabic uses the expression ‘the shorter Surah of Women,’ referring to Surah At-Talaq; both the descriptive phrase and identification are retained.
