و إن كنتم في ريب مما نزلنا على عبدنا فأتوا بسورة من مثله و ادعوا شهداءكم من دون الله إن كنتم صدقين
2.23
And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful.
يحذر المنفقون أن تنزل عليهم سورة تنبئهم بما في قلوبهم قل استهزءوا إن الله مخرج ما تحذرون
9.64
The hypocrites are apprehensive lest a surah be revealed about them, informing them of what is in their hearts. Say, "Mock [as you wish]; indeed, Allah will expose that which you fear.
و إذا أنزلت سورة أن ءامنوا بالله و جهدوا مع رسوله استءذنك أولوا الطول منهم و قالوا ذرنا نكن مع القعدين
9.86
And when a surah was revealed [enjoining them] to believe in Allah and to fight with His Messenger, those of wealth among them asked your permission [to stay back] and said, "Leave us to be with them who sit [at home]."
و إذا ما أنزلت سورة فمنهم من يقول أيكم زادته هذه إيمنا فأما الذين ءامنوا فزادتهم إيمنا و هم يستبشرون
9.124
And whenever a surah is revealed, some of them say, "Which of you has this increased faith?" As for those who believed, it has increased them in faith, while they are rejoicing.
و إذا ما أنزلت سورة نظر بعضهم إلى بعض هل يرىكم من أحد ثم انصرفوا صرف الله قلوبهم بأنهم قوم لا يفقهون
9.127
And whenever a surah is revealed, they look at each other, [saying], "Does anyone see you?" and then they dismiss themselves. Allah has dismissed their hearts because they are a people who do not understand.
أم يقولون افترىه قل فأتوا بسورة مثله و ادعوا من استطعتم من دون الله إن كنتم صدقين
10.38
Or do they say [about the Prophet], "He invented it?" Say, "Then bring forth a surah like it and call upon [for assistance] whomever you can besides Allah, if you should be truthful.
أم يقولون افترىه قل فأتوا بعشر سور مثله مفتريت و ادعوا من استطعتم من دون الله إن كنتم صدقين
11.13
.Or do they say, "He invented it"? Say, "Then bring ten surahs like it that have been invented and call upon [for assistance] whomever you can besides Allah, if you should be truthful.
و يقول الذين ءامنوا لولا نزلت سورة فإذا أنزلت سورة محكمة و ذكر فيها القتال رأيت الذين في قلوبهم مرض ينظرون إليك نظر المغشي عليه من الموت فأولى لهم
47.20
Those who believe say, "Why has a surah not been sent down? But when a precise surah is revealed and fighting is mentioned therein, you see those in whose hearts is hypocrisy looking at you with a look of one overcome by death. And more appropriate for them [would have been].
Some interesting observations about the Basmalah, the 114 chapters of the Quran
and the position of the chapters (with initial letters) in the Quran , considering the indication in 74:30-31 and 72:28
In chapter 55 Al-Rahman, which is composed of 78 verses,
there is a verse that is numerically distinguished between the verses of the Quran, it is the verse :

ى1 ثَنَاهُ, (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) said in the K to be like سَعَى, implying that the aor. is ثَنَىَ, but this is a mistake, (MF, TA,)
[for it is well known that] the aor. is ثَنِىَ, (Msb,) inf. n. ثَنْىٌ, (S, M, Msb, &c.,) He doubled it, or folded it; (T he turned one part of it upon another; (M, K he bent it; (T, S, Mgh, Msb, TA he drew, or contracted, one of its two extremities to [or towards] the other; or joined, or adjoined, one of them to the other; thus bending it; (Mgh namely, a stick, or branch, or twig, (Mgh,) or a thing, (T, S, M, Msb, K,) of any kind
- An interesting observation: in chapter 15 there are 7 verses which are repeated in chapter 38.
This narrative is about "sujud to Adam/bashar" and is also mentioned seven times in the Quran:
