Chronology:

Many well-known authors' chronologies, including that of Ibn Kathir, place Surat al-Muddassir as the second surah revealed to the Islamic Nabi) (Prophet) Muhammad, citing the hadees:

Jabir ibn Abd Allah told, I heard the Messenger of Allah – and he was narrating about the pause in Revelation – so he said in his narration: "I was walking, when I heard a voice from the heavens. So I raised my head, and there was an angel, the one that had come to me at Hira, sitting upon a chair between the heavens and the earth. I fled from him out of fear, and I returned and said: "Wrap me up! Wrap me up!" So they covered me. Then Allah, Most High revealed: "O you who are wrapped up! Arise and warn." Up to His saying: "And keep away from the Rujz!" before the namaz was made obligatory.

Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Jami` at-Tirmidhi, Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, etc. Although reports exist of revelation order other than second, the thematic elements of preparation for the Day of Judgment and warnings for the non-believers are consistent with other early Meccan suras. According to Sayyid Qutb's exegesis, the first verses of this surah as well as those of Surah 73 represent the Prophet’s earliest revelations and those which prepare him for the ordeal of revelation.

1. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said: Whoever recites Surah Mudasir would get reward ten times the number of those who acknowledged the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) or disbelieved in him in Mecca.
