Musnad Abi Ya'la 5057 — two men disagreed about the recitation
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ زِرٍّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ : اخْتَصَمَ رَجُلَانِ فِي سُورَةٍ ، فَقَالَ هَذَا : أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، وَقَالَ هَذَا : أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَأَتَيَا النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ : فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ ، فَقَالَ : اقْرَءُوا كَمَا عُلِّمْتُمْ ، فَذَكَرَ فِيهِ كَلَامًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِاخْتِلَافِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ .
قَالَ : فَقَامَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا ، وَهُوَ لَا يَقْرَأُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ صَاحِبِهِ .
قَالَ : فَقَامَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا ، وَهُوَ لَا يَقْرَأُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ صَاحِبِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that two men disagreed about the recitation of a surah. One of them said: "the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me to recite it this way," and the other made the same claim: "the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me to recite it this way." So the two of them came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him (peace and blessings be upon him) of the matter. The narrator says that (on hearing this) the colour of his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed face changed, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite as you have been taught." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned some further words and said: "Those before you were destroyed only because of their disagreeing with their prophets." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Then each one of us stood up reciting a recitation different from that of his companion.
