Sunayd said in his Tafsīr—he was one of al-Bukhārī’s teachers—“Hajjāj narrated to us from Ibn Abī al-Zinād, from his father, from ʿUrwah ibn al-Zubayr, from Niyār ibn Mukram al-Aslamī, who said:
‘When Allah revealed to His Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace: Alif-Lām-Mīm—“The Romans have been defeated” (al-Rūm 1–2)…’
قَالَ سُنَيْدٌ فِي تَفْسِيرِهِ - وَهُوَ شَيْخُ الْبُخَارِيِّ - حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ نِيَارِ بْنِ مُكْرَمٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ،
أَنَّهُ قَالَ:
لَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
{الم - غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ}
[الروم: ١ - ٢]
