The story of “the Companions of the Town when the messengers came to it” (Yā Sīn 36:13) was mentioned earlier (1) before the account of Moses—peace be upon him.

The story of Sheba will be addressed later (2) under “The Days of the Arabs,” God willing, and upon Him we rely.

The story of Qārūn, as well as the story of Balaam, were both presented earlier (3) in the narrative of Moses.

In the same way, the episodes of al-Khiḍr, Pharaoh, and the sorcerers are all included (4) within the story of Moses.

The story of the Cow likewise appeared (5) in the section on Moses.

The story of “those who left their homes in their thousands, fearful of death” (al-Baqarah 2:243) is found in the account of Ezekiel (6).

The story of “the chiefs of the Children of Israel after Moses” (al-Baqarah 2:246) occurs in the account of Samuel (7).

And the story of the one who “passed by a town” (al-Baqarah 2:259) is related in the account of ʿUzayr (8).
