First pages from a 25 Juz' of the Qur'an commissioned by Sultan Uljaytu with verse 46 of chapter Fussilat in muhaqqaq. Mosul, 1310/1311 (710 AH). British Library

Fuṣṣilat (Arabic: فصلت, fuṣṣilat [1] "are distinctly explained" or "explained in detail"), also known as Sūrat Ḥā Mīm as-Sajdah (Arabic: سورة ﺣﻢ ﺍﻟﺴﺠﺪﺓ),[2] is the 41st chapter (surah) of the Qur'an with 54 verses (āyāt).

Regarding the timing and contextual background of the believed revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier "Meccan surah", as it was revealed before the Hijrah.
