Umar Said_ If It Had Been Three Verses, I Would Have Made It a Separate Surah. So Look for a Surah F

Umar said: If it had been three verses, I would have made it a separate surah. So look for a surah from the Qur’an and place it in it. So I placed it at the end of Bara’ah.

Suspicions that are dropped due to weak evidence:

Sheikh Ahmad Shakir said in his verification of the hadiths of Al-Musnad No. 1715: “Its chain of narration is weak due to its interruption . Ibad ibn Abdullah is trustworthy, but he did not witness the story of the compilation of the Qur’an. In fact,

I do not think he met Al-Harith ibn Khurmah, and if he had met him, he would not have authenticated the hadith, as he did not narrate it from him. Rather, he sent the story without a chain of narration.”

The hadith is in Ibn Abi Dawud: Al-Masahif, p. 30, and Al-Haythami: Majma’ Al-Zawa’id, and he said: “It was narrated by Ahmad, and it includes Ibn Ishaq, who is a mudallis, and the rest of its men are trustworthy.”

Ahmad Shakir said: “Al-Hafiz Al-Haythami did not pay attention to its being an irsal.”

Sheikh Shuaib al-Arna’ut said : Its chain of transmission is weak.

He quoted Ahmad Shakir as saying that what was narrated by al-Bukhari 4986 in the story of the last innocence is the established one. As for this, it is an odd and deviant narration that contradicts the established and well-known narration of the religion, that the Qur’an was conveyed by the Messenger of God (peace and blessings of God be upon him) to his nation in well-known, detailed surahs. It was not for ‘Umar or anyone else to arrange anything in it, or to replace one verse with another, or to gather verses on their own and make them a surah. God forbid that anything like this would cross ‘Umar’s mind.
