The holy Quran was revealed to the prophet over a period of 23 years and it was revealed to him in parts to ease the burden on him as the pressure of receiving revelation would be to much for him to bear Allah says.” If We had sent down this Qur'an upon a mountain, you would have seen it humbled and coming apart from fear of Allah. And these examples We present to the people that perhaps they will give thought”.

It would also be easier for the prophet and his companions to learn these verses with them being revealed over a period of time.Many revelations were revealed to the prophet to make him feel comforted and to help him for e.g when abu lahb called prophet abtar prophet said”indeed he who hurts you will be cut off”This helped ease the prophet simirarly different verses were given to prophet in battle of uhud.
