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.

nasai-kubra:11625 – Muḥammad b. Qudāmah > Jarīr > Manṣūr > Saʿīd b. Jubayr

[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:١١٦٢٥ – أَخْبَرَنَا 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]
