And We have certainly given you, [O Muhammad], seven of the often repeated [verses] and the great Qur'an.

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ

[Al-Hijr 15:87]

Answer:

seven of the often repeated [verses]

سَبْعًا مِّنَ الْمَثَانِي

Surat al-Fatihah, because it is seven verses and it is the Great Qur'an, so it is seven, and it is the Qur'an, it is a Qur'an, and it is seven, yes.
