´Narrated 'Aishah:` that the Prophet (ﷺ) would recite: "Furuhun Wa Raihanun Wa Jannatu Na'im (56:89)"
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation: 1: The well-known recitation is "faraḥun" (with a fatḥah on the letter rā’). In Ya‘qub’s recitation, the rā’ has a ḍammah. In the case of the fatḥah, the meaning is: (For him, there is comfort, provisions, and a restful Paradise). And in the case of the ḍammah, the meaning will be: (His soul will depart into flowers and a restful Paradise) (: al-Waqi‘ah: 89).
