حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ يُونُسَ - حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، أَنَّ آخِرَ، سُورَةٍ أُنْزِلَتْ تَامَّةً سُورَةُ التَّوْبَةِ وَأَنَّ آخِرَ آيَةٍ أُنْزِلَتْ آيَةُ الْكَلاَلَةِ .
Al-Bara' bin 'Azib Narrated from:

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1618c
This hadith about the last verse revealed gives a careful wording from al-Bara ibn Azib. He reports that the last complete surah revealed was Surah Tawbah, also known as al-Bara’at, and that the last verse revealed was the verse about Kalala. The wording matters because it says complete surah, while also naming a separate final verse. The report does not bring in other subjects or legal details beyond that. For readers searching for Surah Tawbah last revealed hadith or Kalala last verse, this narration directly answers both points. It teaches that late revelation included both a complete surah and a specific verse connected to inheritance.
What we learn from this hadith
- Surah Tawbah is named as the last complete surah revealed.
- The last verse is identified as the verse about Kalala.
- The narration distinguishes between a complete surah and a single verse.
- The hadith keeps the discussion tied to what al-Bara reported.
