حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - قَالَتْ نَزَلَ الْوَحْىُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا ‏{‏ سُورَةٌ أَنْزَلْنَاهَا وَفَرَضْنَاهَا ‏}‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ يَعْنِي مُخَفَّفَةً حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَى هَذِهِ الآيَاتِ ‏.‏
