The Great Qur’an

Al-Qurtubi writes:

وَكَرِهَ أَبُو الْعَالِيَةِ أَنْ يُقَالَ : سُورَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ أَوْ كَبِيرَةٌ ; وَقَالَ لِمَنْ سَمِعَهُ قَالَهَا : أَنْتَ أَصْغَرُ مِنْهَا ، وَأَمَّا الْقُرْآنُ فَكُلُّهُ عَظِيمٌ

Abu ‘Aaliyah disliked people saying: “a small Surah” or “a big Surah”, of the Qur’an.
He used to say: “The entire Qur’an is great/big.”

[“Tafsir al-Qurtbi”, 1/45].
