One of the surahs that have been disputed about its revelation or gradual revelation is Surah An'am. In this research, the descriptive-analytic view of Surah An'am has been proved by a descriptive-analytical method based on solid reasons. Proof of the repulsive descent of this surah is possible in two ways; relying on the single context and internal coherence of the surah and quoting the narrations indicating the revelation of the surah. The view of the repulsive revelation of Surah An'am with the narrations of exceptions indicates that some verses of the Surah are civil and also the narrations causing the revelation which if it has the correct conditions indicate the gradual revelation of the Surah and the theory of incoherence of the Surah which has been proposed by Nold is in doubt. In this article, the pieces of evidence of repulsive and gradual descent are evaluated and the view of the repulsive descent of the surah is proved. Based on the findings of this study, it can be said that the narrative evidence of the gradual revelation of Surah An'am due to the weakness of the document and the text, and Noldek's view that the surah is inconsistent due to lack of conviction do not prove the theory of gradual revelation of Surah An'am. On the contrary, the reasons for the repulsive descent of the surah are accepted due to its conditions of accuracy and strength, and therefore the view of the repulsive descent of the blessed surah of An'am is proved.

In his sequence of revelation theory, Noldeke uses various tools to discover the sequence of revelation. One of his most utilized and basic tools is "style". The present paper seeks to identify and study Noldeke's use of this tool with a descriptive-analytical method. It explains and evaluates his understanding of the "style" and its application in this theory. The study shows that he considers the "style" as a way of expressing the meaning, purpose, and type of expressions used in the text. He uses "style" to determine the four-phase chronology of his theory, to separate some verses from surah, and to detect how a surah is descended. He also uses it as an instrument to testify other tools for discovering the sequence of revelation. However, his method to use "style" for discovering the sequence of revelation is incomplete and inaccurate, which has prevented Noldeke from achieving true and accurate results.
