[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not know the division of the surah (chapter) until "Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem" (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) would be revealed to him.  

البيهقي:٢٣٧٧ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ السُّنَنِ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ وَابْنُ السَّرْحِ قَالُوا ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَعْرِفُ فَصْلَ السُّورَةِ حَتَّى تَنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ  

رَوَاهُ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ

The prophet ﷺ did not distinguish between the two surahs until the words “In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the merciful” was revealed to him. These are the words of Ibn al-sarh.  

أبو داود:٧٨٨ – حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ وَابْنُ السَّرْحِ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ فِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لاَ يَعْرِفُ فَصْلَ السُّورَةِ حَتَّى تُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِ { بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ } وَهَذَا لَفْظُ ابْنِ السَّرْحِ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to not know the end of a chapter until the verse "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful" was revealed.  

الحاكم:٨٤٥ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّغَانِيُّ ثنا مُعَلَّى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو قُتَيْبَةَ سَلْمُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْآدَمِيُّ ثنا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا الْمُقْرِئُ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّارُ قَالَا ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَا يَعْلَمُ خَتْمَ السُّورَةِ حَتَّى تَنْزِلَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not know the ending of the Surah until "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful" was revealed to him.  

الطبراني:١٢٥٤٤ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا عُبَادَةُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ ثنا أَبُو مَرْيَمَ عَبْدُ الْغَفَّارِ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

«مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْرِفُ خَاتِمَةَ السُّورَةِ حَتَّى يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ»
