The questioner:
Did they arrange the Qur'an through their own independent legal reasoning and err in it?
The Shaykh:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[At-Tawbah 9:100] And among what the Muhajireen and the Ansar accomplished was the arrangement of the mushaf, specifically the ordering of the surahs. Therefore, we must follow them in this matter, and we must not cast doubt on their actions or object to them.
