وحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " أَقْرَأَنِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام عَلَى حَرْفٍ فَرَاجَعْتُهُ ، فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَسْتَزِيدُهُ فَيَزِيدُنِي ، حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ " ، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ : بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ تِلْكَ السَّبْعَةَ الأَحْرُفَ ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ فِي الأَمْرِ الَّذِي يَكُونُ وَاحِدًا لَا يَخْتَلِفُ فِي حَلَالٍ وَلَا حَرَامٍ .
Ibn 'Abbas reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Gabriel (ؑ) taught me to recite in one style. I replied to him and kept asking him to give more (styles), till he reached seven modes (of recitation). Ibn Shibab said: It has reached me that these seven styles are essentially one, not differing about what is permitted and what is forbidden.
