that sura 112 was composed after the Sonship of Christ had been rejected;
see p. 96, below.


[169] Nöldeke and Schwally, GQ, vol. 1, pp. 109 f; Nöldeke, "Qur'an,"
p. 8. These suras may also have been composed later; cf. Qur'an 44: 19a.


[170] Nöldeke and Schwally, GQ, vol. 1, pp. 112 f, n. 1, I-IV. Nöldeke,
"Qur'an," pp. 18 f. Cf. Qur'an 1:5 with Ps. 27:11. It is also possible that this
sura was composed later; cf. Qur'an 1:1 with Qur'an 26:46 (& passim);
37:182; and 1:6 with 20:135.

[172] Dodge, in Ibn an-Nadim, Fihrist, vol. 1, p. 61, nn. 44, 45,
erroneously interpreted the sura names al-Khal` and al-Hafd; see Jeffery,
Materials, pp. 180-1; Suyuti, El-Itkan, vol. 2, pp. 153 f; Nöldeke and
Schwally, GQ, vol. 2, pp. 34 f; Watt and Bell, Introduction, p. 46; SEI, p.
208; EI², s.v. "Kur'an," p. 407. Cf. ECMD, Al-Kindi, p. 458.

dependent on the chronology of Qur'an 112 and similar passages.
