Did Surat Ghafir descend before Surat Al-Muddaththir, especially its verses of warning related to Al-Waleed ibn Al-Mughirah, knowing that Surat Al-Muddaththir descended completely before Ghafir?
The narrations mention the revelation of Surat Al-Muddaththir, and some of its verses on different occasions. The first five verses were revealed after the period of revelation that followed the revelation of Surat Al-Alaq. As for verses (11-30), they were revealed concerning Al-Walid ibn Al-Mughirah when he slandered the Qur'an, claiming it was magic. The Prophet’s recitation to Utbah ibn Rabi'ah was from the beginning of Surat Fussilat. The arrangement of verses and surahs in the is not according to the historical order of revelation; rather, it is definitive from the Prophet (peace be upon him). Some surahs were revealed all at once, while others were revealed in parts.
