Hadith 158

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ ، فَقَرَأَ فِيهَا حُرُوفًا لَمْ يَكُنْ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقْرَأَنِيهَا ، قَالَ : فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُسَاوِرَهُ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ ، قُلْتُ : مَنْ أَقْرَأَكَ هَذِهِ الْقِرَاءَةَ ؟ قَالَ : رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قُلْتُ : كَذَبْتَ ، وَاللَّهِ مَا هَكَذَا أَقْرَأَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ أَقُودُهُ ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّكَ أَقْرَأْتَنِي سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ ، وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ هَذَا يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا حُرُوفًا لَمْ تَكُنْ أَقْرَأْتَنِيهَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اقْرَأْ يَا هِشَامُ ، فَقَرَأَ كَمَا كَانَ قَرَأَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : اقْرَأْ يَا عُمَرُ ، فَقَرَأْتُ ، فَقَالَ : هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ نَزَلَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ " .
Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once I heard Sayyiduna Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) reciting Surah Al-Furqan. He recited some words in it which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had not taught me. At that time, I was performing prayer, and I wished to question him right there in the prayer. However, after finishing, I asked him, "Who taught you to recite Surah Al-Furqan in this way?" He replied, "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did." I said, "You are lying! By Allah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not teach you this Surah in this manner." Saying this, I took hold of his hand and dragged him to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! You yourself taught me Surah Al-Furqan, and I have heard him reciting it in words which you did not teach me?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) told Hisham to recite it. He recited it in the same way as before. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "This Surah was revealed in this way." Then he said to me, "Umar, you also recite." So I recited it. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "This Surah was also revealed in this way." Then he said, "Indeed, this Qur'an has been revealed upon seven modes of recitation."
