[Machine] The Quran was revealed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he recited it to them (the people) over a period of time. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, if only you would narrate stories to us." So Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed the verse {Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the clear Book} [Surah Yusuf: 1]. He recited it to them until he reached the verse {We relate to you, [O Muhammad], the best of stories} [Surah Yusuf: 3]. Then they said, "O Messenger of Allah, if only you would tell us." So Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed the verse {Allah has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book wherein is reiteration} [Surah Az-Zumar: 23]. All of this is commanded by the Quran.
نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَتَلَا عَلَيْهِمْ زَمَانًا فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ قَصَصْتَ عَلَيْنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {الر تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ} [يوسف 1] تَلَا إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ الْقَصَصِ} [يوسف 3] الْآيَةُ فَتَلَا عَلَيْهِمْ زَمَانًا فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ حَدَّثَتْنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {اللَّهُ نَزَّلَ أَحْسَنَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابًا مُتَشَابِهًا} [الزمر 23] الْآيَةُ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يُؤْمَرُ بِالْقُرْآنِ
