Hadith 2410

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ : أَخْبَرَنِي ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ النَّزَّالَ بْنَ سَبْرَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُ : "سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا قَرَأَ آيَةً سَمِعْتُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خِلَافَهَا ، فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ ، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : كِلَاكُمَا مُحْسِنٌ ". قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ : لَا تَخْتَلِفُوا ، فَإِنَّ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمُ اخْتَلَفُوا فَهَلَكُوا .
Narrated `Abdullah: I heard a man reciting a verse (of the Holy Qur'an) but I had heard the Prophet reciting it differently. So, I caught hold of the man by the hand and took him to Allah's Apostle who said, "Both of you are right." Shu`ba, the sub-narrator said, "I think he said to them, "Don't differ, for the nations before you differed and perished (because of their differences). "
