A narrative informs us that ‘Uthman (rta) exercised his own judgement in placing Surah Anfal (8) and Surah Tawbah (9) together when the Qur’an was written in his times; since he had no guidance regarding this from the Prophet (sws), he considered them to be a single surah because of similarity of the topics of both surahs. In this episode, Dr Shehzad Saleem critically analyzes the text and chain of narration of this narrative.
