Question:

Does Al-Hasan Al-Basri deny the revelation of 113 verses?

Answer:

Al-Hasan Al-Basri says: “Never was: “In the name of the merciful and compassionate God.” (1:1) Revealed in something from the Qur’an, except in the chapter An-Naml: “It is from Solomon and it is in the name of the gracious and merciful God.” (27:30) [Al-Jami’ Li-Ahkam Al-Qur’an by Al-Qurtubi, Volume 1 Page 147]

قال الحسن البصري: لم ينزل بسم الله الرمن الرحيم في شيء من القرآن إلا في طس إنه من سليمن وإنه بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
