We went to `Abdullah in the morning and a man said, "Yesterday I recited all the Mufassal Suras." On
that `Abdullah said, "That is very quick, and we have the (Prophet's) recitation, and I remember very
well the recitation of those Suras which the Prophet (ﷺ) used to recite, and they were eighteen Suras from
the Mufassal, and two Suras from the Suras that start with Ha Mim.

Regarding His (Allah's) Statement:-- 'Move not your tongue concerning (the Quran) to make haste
therewith.' (75.16) And whenever Gabriel descended to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with the Divine Inspiration,
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to move his tongue and lips, and that used to be hard for him, and one could
easily recognize that he was being inspired Divinely. So Allah revealed the Verse which occurs in the
Surah starting with "I do swear by the Day of Resurrection.' (75.1) i.e. 'Move not your tongue
concerning (the Quran) to make haste then with. It is for Us to collect it (in your mind) (O
Muhammad) an give you the ability to recite it 'by heart.' (75.16-17) which means: It is for us to
collect it (in your mind) and give you the ability to recite it by heart. And when We have recited it to
you (O Muhammad) through Gabriel then follow you its recital. (75.18) means: 'When We reveal it
(the Quran) to you, Listen to it.' for then: It is for Us to explain it and make it clear to you' (75.19)
i.e. It is up to Us to explain it through your tongue. So, when Gabriel came to him, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
would listen to him attentively, and as soon as Gabriel left, he would recite the Revelations, as Allah
had promised him.
