The best reason to this gradual revelation scattered and occasionally coming down of divine messages is God's promise that said: "and the Quran that we sent it down discretely so that you read it with real-time. Narrations say that Jews and pagans censured the Prophet for this type of scattered and occasionally revelation of the Quran because it was thought that earlier books came down to the prophets all at once to the prophets. Therefore, they wanted the Prophet that Quran like earlier books to be revealed at once. So, this verse was revealed to reject them. Suyuti says: the earlier books were revealed suddenly and at once, and it is famous among scientists that almost they agreed upon the current languages, but I saw one of the scientists that was denying this view and said this is not the reason. But, the true promise is that they like the Quran to be revealed sporadically. So, I say that the truth is first words and the reasons for it are verses 32 and 33 of Surah al-Furqan (when the unbelievers protested that why Quran does not drop all?). However, aside from which Hadiths confirm it, When Jews and pagans demand sudden revelation of the Quran, God stays silent to reject them and expresses its benefit. What, if earlier books have been revealed separately and individually, they would have rejected them and said that this is a divine tradition. In addition, when they censured the prophet and said what type of prophet he is that eats and drink and walks in the markets, so, God refused their remarks and said: "we did not send messengers before you unless they ate food and walked in the markets"
Farra (AD 207) of the great grammarians who responses that this verse is dialogue of pagans and they supposed and the next verse which says: the disbelievers do not say a word that we against them say the truth in a best way so; it is the rejection of the pagan's speech. But, Ibn fork defends the immediate revelation of the Torah and says: It is said that the Torah was revealed all at once, because it was revealed to the Prophet who read and wrote, and he was Moses, but the Quran was revealed in scatter and gradually because it was revealed to an uneducated Prophet. In this case, it seems that Ibn Fork has minded Torah that concerning tablets in it has been mentioned and God said to Moses, "Thou, Write these words, because due to these words I have made covenant with you and the Israel; the Moses stayed there forty days and forty nights before God, he did not eat bread and drink water, and wrote the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments on tablets.
But aside from the revelation of the earlier books, the gradual revelation of the Holy Quran due to it explanation and confirming tradition and history narration, is indisputable and real.
The quality of this gradual revelation
The revelation of Quran verses was based on the supreme requirement and concurrence with events that happened then, there was an incident that demanded a command and when some had a question that answer required or radically the explanation of a decree was necessary, or persuading people to the virtues and vices and prohibition was an obligation or due to the nature of a wisdom, a story of the former prophets have to be written. In such a case and above cases, a few verses related to one topic were revealed altogether.
Ibn Ashtahe Esfahani narrates Akramah concerning the holy verse of "at the time of stars" said that" Allah, sent down the Quran, gradually 3 verses, 4 verses and 5 verses. Nackzavi (AD 683) says in the book of Vagf that Quran was revealed in scatter; a verse, two verses 3, 4, and more than that. However, Abu Saeed Khudri thought Quran 5 verses in the morning and 5 verses at night to his disciples, and said that Gabriel brought the Quran, each time 5verses moreover, of Ali Ibn Abu Talib (AS) similar hadith have also been quoted. Other narrators including Akhbaris, companions and followers narrate so. After all, looking at Hadiths show that most of Quran included of 4 and 5 verses and revealed about this but this has not occurred forever. Ibn Masood said: "We were with the Prophet at Mana in cave that" Al Mursalat verse came down and I heard it from his blessed mouth, yet the Prophet's mouth was wet that all of a sudden a snake rushed at us. The Prophet told us to kill it, we attacked and the snake went away. Or Surah of "An'am", a night at Mecca once landed and was surrounded by seventy thousand angels. However, there are many narrations about, that for the true judgment we should pay much attention topic of argument and the relation among them.
The secret of this revelation
Historical movement of Islam and mobility made in Muslims and vitality that gave to human society, those strong and the mighty spirit of Islam, the sacrifice and heroism all and all were the huge flow that was fed movement and the Muslim faith of early Islam and that movement and belief of the early Muslims had no secret except this gradual revelation of verses, however; the gradual revelation was actually the secret of Islam victory. So, whenever an exigency compelled and was a source of mobility for the Prophet and his companions was necessary the revealing angel came down and blew new life to the body of Islam. The known or unknown ignorant ridiculed this gradual descent and they demanded a written and compiled book of course, the written book for them was a solid course that to be consecration for their life. But scattered verses that were revealed occasionally enjoyed by hearts and lives of the believers and were transferred chest to chest and went hand in hand and were a source of new vitality and movement and this movement and vitality in the next generation and generations later, became a wave of continuation. However, this is source of strength and vitality of the Muslim community and its continuation in future generations which indicates the main secret of the gradual descent. In this gradualness of Quran revelation, there are mysteries and that here we point to a few drops of that ocean briefly. However, the first one is pointed by God;
Thus (we sent Quran in scatter) in order to enforce and empower your heart. What in terms of revelation and repetition of it by God the happiness and joy fills his heart and open his chest. So, this grace of God and commitment of his God is being renewed in each step of revelation. In other word, this gradual descent and has made it easier to understand and identify its knowledge and its commands and every time this gradual revelation is followed with a new miracle as every time that invites the disbelieves to fight that if they can bring a verse like that. So, at the time of his engagement with enemies and the malice, God promises him and does not leave him alone and this occurs on different occasions. Every time that the enemy put him into trouble, the Lord would comfort him and sometimes this console was through the stories of the prophets in the Quran that is as wide as possible.
In Surah of Hud verse 120 says: "we read over the entire prophet's news to you in order to have your heart rests and when this consolation from the promise by God to his messenger was for his prosperity, wining and his security. It is also very interesting and worthy of attention that sometimes let him settle down. However, it is because the verse 35 of Surah Anam says "If their discordance is very disgusting to you so, if you can make subway down the earth and a ladder to the sky in order to give them a sign and if God wanted, he would have brought all of them to the right path, so, pond over, in order to escape the fools.
(Verse) read it slow and quietly to people
As we know, Arab people were uneducated and writing tool was scarce for writers so, they were busy working and living. The Quran was revealed if once the preserve unable unfolded. So, if the Quran was revealed at once, they will fail to maintain it but, the gradual revelation made its maintenance simpler and easier aside from that, understanding Quranic verses became easier and easier. The gradual revelation of Quran that people gradually worship get rid of rotten ideas and habits and Every time Islam made destroyed false, prepared to destroy another vicious false.
