[Machine] The Quran was revealed in its entirety in one night, which is the Night of Decree. Allah used to reveal it to the Messenger of Allah piece by piece. They said, "Why was the Quran not revealed to him all at once? In that case, your heart would have been firm, but it was revealed piecemeal." [Surah Al-Furqan, 32]  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٦٢٥أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَوْلُهُ {إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ} [القدر 1] قَالَ

نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ جُمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَكَانَ اللهُ ﷻ يُنَزِّلُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْضَهُ فِي أَثَرِ بَعْضٍ قَالُوا {لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنُ جُمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً كَذَلِكَ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهِ فُؤَادَكَ وَرَتَّلْنَاهَ تَرْتِيلًا} [الفرقان 32]

quran:25:32

And those who disbelieve say, "Why was the Qur'an not revealed to him all at once?" Thus ˹it is˺ that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly.  

And those who disbelieve say, ‘Why has the Qur’ān not been revealed to him all at once?’, as the Torah, the Gospel and the Book of Psalms ˹were˺. God, exalted be He, says: We have revealed it, thus, in parts, ˹it is˺, that We may strengthen your inner-heart with it, and We have arranged it in a specific order, that is to say, We produce it in stages one part after another, gradually and deliberately, in order to facilitate its comprehension and its memorisation.
القرآن:٢٥:٣٢

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنُ جُمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهِ فُؤَادَكَ ۖ وَرَتَّلْنَاهُ تَرْتِيلًا  

{وقال الذين كفروا لولا} هلا {نزل عليه القرآن جملة واحدة} كالتوراة والإنجيل والزَّبور، قال تعالى: نزلناه، {كذلك} متفرّقا {لنثبَّت به فؤادك} نقوي قلبك {ورتلناه ترتيلا} أي أتينا به شيئا بعد شيء بتمهل وتؤدة لتيسر فهمه وحفظه.

[Machine] "The Quran was revealed in one complete sentence on the night of Al-Qadr to the sky of this world, which was in the position of the stars. Allah would reveal it to His Messenger ﷺ bit by bit. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: 'And those who disbelieved say, "Why was the Qur'an not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly.' [Surah Al-Furqan: 32]."

[Machine] Abu Bakr and Uthman, the sons of Abu Shaybah, narrated that Jarir reported from Mansour, who reported from Sa'id ibn Jubair, who reported from Ibn Abbas regarding the saying of Allah, 'Verily, We have sent it down in the Night of Power.' (Quran 97:1) He said, "The Quran was revealed as a whole in one night of the Night of Power to the lower heaven, in the position of the stars. And Allah would reveal it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ part by part in succession." He also said, "They said, 'Why was the Quran not sent down to him all at once? Thus, we would strengthen your heart thereby. And We have revealed it to you in gradual stages.'" (Quran 25:32)

[Machine] In His statement, "Indeed, We sent it down during the Night of Decree", it is said that the Qur'an was revealed all at once to the heavens of the world and it was positioned with the stars. Allah would send it to His Messenger ﷺ bit by bit in intervals. Allah said, "And those who disbelieved say, "Why was the Qur'an not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly."
