حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي السَّفَرِ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، قَالَ آخِرُ آيَةٍ أُنْزِلَتْ أَوْ آخِرُ شَيْءٍ نَزَلَ : ( يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلاَلَةِ ) . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ وَأَبُو السَّفَرِ اسْمُهُ سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَيُقَالُ ابْنُ يُحْمِدَ .

Al-Bara’ reported: ‘The last verse revealed’—or, ‘the last matter revealed’—was: “They ask you for a ruling. Say: Allah gives you a ruling concerning kalalah” (Qur’an 4:176).’ Abu ‘Isa graded this hadith hasan and identified Abu al-Safar as Sa‘id ibn Ahmad al-Thawri, also said to be Ibn Yahmad.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The narrator expresses uncertainty whether this was the last verse revealed or the last matter revealed.
