Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is Surat al-Muddaththir the first complete surah revealed in the Qur'an?
Answer:
The first thing revealed from the Qur'an is:[Al-'Alaq 96:1]. As for Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) saying that the first thing revealed was [Al-Muddaththir 74:1], this is subject to scrutiny. Also, if it is correct, its meaning is that it was the first thing revealed after the pause in revelation. After the pause in revelation, the first thing revealed was al-Muddaththir, as previously mentioned to you: the revelation paused for a period and then returned. So the first thing revealed after the pause was al-Muddaththir. Yes.

اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَO you who covers himself [with a garment],
يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ
