Sunan Abi Dawud

Hadith #787

The above mentioned tradition has been reported by ibn abbas through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. This version adds:The apostle of Allah (ļ·ŗ) 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 b. ā€˜Umarah said: The prophet( may peace be upon him) did not writeā€In the name of Allah, the compassionate, the mercifulā€ 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)
