بَابُ الْقِرَاءَاتِ وَكَمْ أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى حَرْفٍ
The readings, and on how many modes (ahruf) the Quran was revealed
Majma al-Zawaid 11574 — The readings, and on how many modes (ahruf)
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ ، الْمِرَاءُ فِي الْقُرْآنِ كُفْرٌ - ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ - فَمَا عَرَفْتُمْ فَاعْمَلُوا بِهِ ، وَمَا جَهِلْتُمْ مِنْهُ فَرَدُّوهُ إِلَى عَالِمِهِ " ،
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Qur'an has been revealed in seven ahruf, and disagreeing (or disputing) about the Qur'an is disbelief (kufr)" (he said this three times) "so when you come to know it, act upon it, and whatever you do not know, refer its ruling to the one who knows it."
