The answer

Some verses of a Surah may precede others in revelation, even if they come later in the textual arrangement. Examples include Surat Al-Mumtahanah and Aal Imran. The order of revelation of verses can be found in books of Tafsir (exegesis), Sirah (Prophetic biography), and those dealing with Al-Nasikh wal-Mansukh (abrogating and abrogated verses).
