عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ آيَةً وَقَرَأَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ خِلَافَهَا جَاءَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ وَقَرَأَ رَجُلٌ خِلَافَهَا فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ أَلَمْ تُقْرِئْنِي آيَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ بَلَى فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَلَمْ تُقْرِئْنِيهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ بَلَى كِلَاكُمَا مُحْسِنٌ مُجْمِلٌ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَضَرَبَ صَدْرِي فَقَالَ يَا أُبَيُّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ إِنِّي أُقْرِئْتُ الْقُرْآنَ فَقِيلَ لِي عَلَى حَرْفٍ أَوْ عَلَى حَرْفَيْنِ قَالَ فَقَالَ الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي مَعِي عَلَى حَرْفَيْنِ فَقُلْتُ عَلَى حَرْفَيْنِ فَقَالَ عَلَى حَرْفَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٍ فَقَالَ الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي مَعِي عَلَى ثَلَاثَةٍ فَقُلْتُ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةٍ حَتَّى بَلَغَ سَبْعَةَ أَحْرُفٍ لَيْسَ مِنْهَا إِلَّا شَافٍ كَافٍ إِنْ قُلْتَ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا أَوْ قُلْتَ سَمِيعًا عَلِيمًا أَوْ عَلِيمًا سَمِيعًا فَاللَّهُ كَذَلِكَ مَا لَمْ تَخْتِمْ آيَةَ عَذَابٍ بِرَحْمَةٍ أَوْ آيَةَ رَحْمَةٍ بِعَذَابٍ زَادَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ بَعْدَ قَوْلِهِ فَضَرَبَ فِي صَدْرِي ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَذْهِبْ عَنْ أُبَيٍّ الشَّكَّ فَفِضْتُ عَرَقًا وَامْتَلَأَ جَوْفِي فَرَقًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أُبَيُّ إِنَّ مَلَكَيْنِ أَتَيَانِي فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا اقْرَأْ عَلَى حَرْفٍ فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ زِدْهُ فَقُلْتُ زِدْنِي فَقَالَ اقْرَأْ عَلَى حَرْفَيْنِ فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ زِدْهُ فَقُلْتُ زِدْنِي فَقَالَ اقْرَأْ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةٍ فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ زِدْهُ فَقُلْتُ زِدْنِي فَقَالَ اقْرَأْ عَلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ زِدْهُ قُلْتُ زِدْنِي فَقَالَ اقْرَأْ عَلَى خَمْسَةِ أَحْرُفٍ فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ زِدْهُ قُلْتُ زِدْنِي فَقَالَ اقْرَأْ عَلَى سِتَّةٍ فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ زِدْهُ فَقَالَ اقْرَأْ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I recited a verse and Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) also recited a verse, but his verse was different from mine. So I came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Did you not teach me such and such verse in this way? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why not. Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Did you not teach me this in such and such way? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Both of you have recited correctly. I (Ubayy) said: How can both be correct? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck his hand on my chest and said: O Ubayy! The Qur'an was taught to me and it was said: upon one or two recitations? The angel who was with me said: upon two recitations. I said: upon two recitations. But then he said: upon two recitations or three? The angel who was with me said: upon three recitations. I said: upon three recitations, until it reached seven recitations, each one satisfactory and sufficient. If you say غَفُورًا رَحِیمًا (Most Forgiving, Most Merciful), or you say سَمِیعًا عَلِیمًا (All-Hearing, All-Knowing), or you say عَلِیمًا سَمِیعًا (All-Knowing, All-Hearing), then Allah is just as He is. In another narration it is mentioned: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck my chest and said: O Allah! Remove doubt from Ubayy. Ubayy says: I became drenched in sweat and my stomach was filled with fear. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Ubayy! Two angels came to me, one of them said: Recite the Qur'an upon one recitation, the other said: Increase it, I also said: Increase it, he said: Recite upon four recitations, the other said: Increase it more, I also said: Increase it for me, he said: Recite upon five recitations, the other said: Increase it more, I also said: Increase it more, recite upon six recitations, the other said: Increase it more, he said: Recite upon seven recitations.
