Hadith 8412
عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ تَمَارَيْنَا فِي سُورَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَقُلْنَا خَمْسٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ آيَةً سِتٌّ وَثَلَاثُونَ آيَةً قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَجَدْنَا عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يُنَاجِيهِ فَقُلْنَا إِنَّا اخْتَلَفْنَا فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ فَاحْمَرَّ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَقْرَءُوا كَمَا عُلِّمْتُمْ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we had a disagreement regarding a surah of the Qur'an; someone said it has thirty-five verses and someone else opined that it has thirty-six verses. So we went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and found Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) whispering to him. We said: We have disagreed regarding the recitation. Upon hearing this, the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned red. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is commanding you to recite this Book as you have been taught.
Hadith 8413
عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَدَخَلَ رَجُلٌ فَقَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً أَنْكَرْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ آخَرُ فَقَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً سِوَى قِرَاءَةِ صَاحِبِهِ فَقُمْنَا جَمِيعًا فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذَا قَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً أَنْكَرْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ هَذَا فَقَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً غَيْرَ قِرَاءَةِ صَاحِبِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ اقْرَآ فَقَرَآ فَقَالَ أَصَبْتُمَا فَلَمَّا قَالَ لَهُمَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّذِي قَالَ كَبُرَ عَلَيَّ وَلَا إِذْ كُنْتُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الَّذِي غَشِيَنِي ضَرَبَ فِي صَدْرِي فَفِضْتُ عَرَقًا وَكَأَنَّمَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فَرَقًا فَقَالَ يَا أُبَيُّ إِنَّ رَبِّي تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ اقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى حَرْفٍ فَرَدَدْتُ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ هَوِّنْ عَلَى أُمَّتِي فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ اقْرَأَهُ عَلَى حَرْفَيْنِ فَرَدَدْتُ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ هَوِّنْ عَلَى أُمَّتِي فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ اقْرَأْهُ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ وَلَكَ بِكُلِّ رَدَّةٍ مَسْأَلَةٌ تَسْأَلُنِيهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِأُمَّتِي اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِأُمَّتِي وَأَخَّرْتُ الثَّالِثَةَ لِيَوْمٍ يَرْغَبُ إِلَيَّ فِيهِ الْخَلْقُ حَتَّى إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy ibn Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was in the mosque when a man entered and recited (the Qur'an) in a way that I rejected. Then another man entered and he recited contrary to the first person's recitation. We stood up and went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I said: O Messenger of Allah! This man recited in a way that I do not know, then this other one entered and he recited contrary to him, and I do not know his recitation either. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to both of them: Recite. When they recited, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Both of you have recited correctly. Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) declared both of them correct, this was very hard on me. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw that this was weighing heavily upon me, he struck his hand on my chest, and I sweated so much that I became drenched, and it felt to me as if I were seeing Allah Almighty out of fear. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Ubayy! My Lord, the Exalted, sent a message to me to recite the Noble Qur'an in one mode of recitation. I requested: Make it easy for my Ummah. So Allah, the Exalted, sent a message to recite in two modes. I again requested: Make it easy for my Ummah. So Allah, the Exalted, sent a message to recite the Qur'an in seven modes of recitation. And as many times as you requested, you may ask from Me. I said: O Allah! Forgive my Ummah, O Allah! Forgive my Ummah. The third supplication I have postponed for the Day when the creation will come to me, until even Ibrahim (peace be upon him).
Hadith 8414
عَنْ أَبِي قَيْسٍ مَوْلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ سَمِعَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ رَجُلًا يَقْرَأُ آيَةً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَقْرَأَكَ هَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَقَدْ أَقْرَأَنِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى غَيْرِ هَذَا فَذَهَبَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ آيَةُ كَذَا وَكَذَا ثُمَّ قَرَأَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَ هَكَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ أُنْزِلَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ فَأَيَّ ذَلِكَ قَرَأْتُمْ فَقَدْ أَحْسَنْتُمْ وَلَا تَمَارَوْا فِيهِ فَإِنَّ الْمِرَاءَ فِيهِ كُفْرٌ أَوْ آيَةُ الْكُفْرِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he heard a man reciting a verse of the Noble Qur’an. He asked him: Who taught you this verse? He replied: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. He said: But the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught it to me in a different way. So both of them went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and one of them said: O Messenger of Allah! This verse is like this, then he recited it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It was revealed in this way. The other said: O Messenger of Allah! Was this verse not revealed in this way? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It was also revealed in this way. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This Noble Qur’an has been revealed upon seven modes of recitation; whichever of them you recite by, it is correct. Do not dispute in this Qur’an, for disputing in it is disbelief or a sign of disbelief.
Hadith 8415
عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ اخْتَلَفَا فِي آيَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Juhaim (may Allah be pleased with him) that two men disagreed about a verse of the Noble Qur’an, then a similar narration was mentioned.
Hadith 8416
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ سَبْعَةَ أَحْرُفٍ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا
(Second chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The Noble Qur’an was revealed in seven modes of recitation, therefore, instead of ‘Aleeman Hakeeman’ it can be recited as ‘Ghafooran Raheeman’.
