حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ، بَشَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ، يَقُولُ آخِرُ آيَةٍ أُنْزِلَتْ آيَةُ الْكَلاَلَةِ وَآخِرُ سُورَةٍ أُنْزِلَتْ بَرَاءَةُ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1618b
This hadith about the last verse revealed reports the statement of al-Bara ibn Azib. He said that the last verse revealed was the verse about Kalala, and the last surah revealed was Surah al-Bara’at. The narration gives two points: one about a single verse and one about a surah. It does not explain the detailed rules of Kalala in the translation, but it clearly names the topic of the last verse. This makes it a key report for searches like last verse of Quran hadith and Kalala verse hadith. The simple message is that the matter of Kalala was connected to a very late revelation, and Surah al-Bara’at is mentioned as the last surah revealed.
What we learn from this hadith
- Al-Bara identifies the last revealed verse as the verse of Kalala.
- The narration also names Surah al-Bara’at as the last surah revealed.
- The hadith separates the last verse from the last surah.
- The report highlights the place of Kalala in late revelation.
