Commentary
(Makki [except for verse 87, which is Madani] and it has ninety-nine verses [revealed after Surah Yusuf]) 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful'
That is a reference to what the Surah contains of verses. And the Book, and the clear Quran: the Surah.
And the indefinite article for the Quran is for emphasis. And the meaning is: those are the verses of the complete Book in being a Book and any clear Quran, as if it were said: the Book that encompasses perfection and uniqueness in expression.
