English narration
Narrated by عبد الله بن العباس القرشي
The above mentioned tradition has been reported by ibn abbas through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. This version adds: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, but he did not mention to us that surah al baraah ins a part of al-anfal. Abu Dawood said: Al-sha’bl, Abu Malik, Qatadah, and Thabit bin Umarah said: The prophet ﷺ did not write”In the name of Allah, the compassionate, the merciful” until Surah al-naml was revealed. This is the meaning of what they said. Further, this is a mursal traditional (omitting the name of the companion)
النص العربي
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 اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَنَا أَنَّهَا مِنْهَا ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : قَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ ، وَأَبُو مَالِكٍ ، وَقَتَادَةُ ، وَثَابِتُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ : إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَكْتُبْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ سُورَةُ النَّمْلِ هَذَا مَعْنَاهُ .
