Summary
Scholars differ on which verse was revealed last. Each view rests on narrations from the companions, but none is marfu’, meaning none is traced back to the Messenger of Allah SAW. The views discussed include the riba verse (al-Baqarah 278), verse 281 of al-Baqarah, the debt verse (al-Baqarah 282), the kalalah verse (al-Nisaa’ 176), verse 3 of al-Ma’idah and verses 128-129 of al-Taubah. Imam al-Suyuthi says the three al-Baqarah verses were revealed together, while Muhammad Ra’fat Sa’id holds that verse 281 was the last among them.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Para ulama berbeza pandangan dalam menentukan ayat al-Qur'an terakhir yang diturunkan, dan setiap pandangan didasari dengan riwayat-riwayat daripada para sahabat, namun tiada satu pun yang bertaraf marfu', dalam erti kata tiada riwayat yang bersambung kepada Rasulullah SAW.
