Ibn Abī ʿArūbah narrated from Qatādah, from Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyib, who said: ʿUmar stated, “The final verse Allah sent down was the verse on usury, so leave usury altogether and anything that smacks of doubt.” This report is sound.

Abū Jaʿfar narrated from ar-Rabīʿ ibn Anas, from Abū al-ʿĀliyah, from Ubayy, who said: “The last verse revealed was: ‘But if they turn away, then say: Allah is sufficient for me’ (9:129).”
