Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Which was revealed in MakkahThe Beginning of the Mufassal Section of the Qur'anThis Surah is the first Surah in the Mufassal section of the Qur'an, according to the correct view. It is said that the Mufassal starts with Surat Al-Hujurat. Some common people say that the Mufassal starts with Surah `Amma An-Naba, (chapter 78), however, this is not true because none of the respected scholars ever supported this opinion.
