Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Jibreel (peace be upon him) taught me one recitation, I requested him to increase the recitations and he kept increasing them, until the matter reached seven recitations. Imam Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) says: This difference in recitations is in reality about one and the same matter, it does not make any difference in what is lawful and unlawful.
