Or in VII: 133: 'We have sent over them the Flood, locusts, lice, frogs and blood as signs mufa~~alat' (= separated from each other, Paret, Koran: 'eines nach dem anderen'). Or VI: 114: 'He is the one who has sent down to you the Book (or the writing) mufa~~alan' (Le. in separate parts?). Cf. Bell, Commentary 1349 (to XI:l) who renders it 'distinctly separated'.
