Bu Qur’ondagi ikkinchi eng uzun sura bo‘lib, Madinada nozil bo‘lgan. U Ash-Shu‘ro (Al-Mumtahanah) sura — ya’ni 60-sura, "Tekshirilgan ayol" surasidan so‘ng nozil bo‘lgan. Ba’zi rivoyatlarga ko‘ra, bu so‘nggi sura qisman Makkaning Islomga bo‘ysunishi bilan yakunlangan, hijriy 8-yildagi yurish vaqtida nozil bo‘lgan, boshqa qismlari esa hijriy 6-yilda, Al-Hudaybiya sulh shartnomasi bilan tugagan yurish vaqtida, undan avval nozil bo‘lgan.

This, the second longest sūrah in the Qur’ān was revealed in Madinah, following shortly after Sūrah 60, The Examined Woman, or Al-Mumtaĥanah. Some reports say that this latter sūrah was partly revealed at the time of the expedition that ended in Makkah’s fall to Islam in year 8 of the Islamic calendar, while the other parts were revealed earlier, in year 6, at the time of the expedition ending in the peace treaty of Al-Ĥudaybiyyah.

Birinchi jildda, Baqara surasining boshlanishini muhokama qilganimizda aytilganidek, Qur’on suralarining nozil bo‘lish tartibini to‘liq aniqlab bo‘lmaydi.
