40: The Believer

This chapter was revealed after the previous one on Throngs 39, and before the next, [Signs] Spelled Out 41. It initiates a fresh series of seven chapters, each
of which bears the initials H.M. as its opening. Chapter 40 is laid out in nine
sections arranged in 85 late Meccan verses, except for VV. 56-57 (in section VI)
which may be from Madina. The title is derived from the believing man in
Pharaoh's court who appears in VV. 28 ùóó 30 (IV) or alternately, from Forgiving,
the first word in V.3 (and last in V.41).
