Hadith 25115

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا صَخْرُ بْنُ جُوَيْرِيَةَ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، عَنْ أَبِي خَلَفٍ ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَسَأَلَهَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ : كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ : الَّذِينَ يَأْتُونَ مَا أَتَوْا أَوْ يُؤْتُونَ مَا آتَوْا سورة المؤمنون آية 60 ؟ فَقَالَتْ : " أَيُّهُمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ ؟ " فَقَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لَأَحَدُهُمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، قَالَتْ : " أَيَّتُهُمَا ؟ " ، قَالَ : الَّذِينَ يَأْتُونَ مَا أَتَوْا ، فَقَالَتْ : " أَشْهَدُ لَكَذَلِكَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَؤُهَا ، وَكَذَاكَ أُنْزِلَتْ وَلَكِنَّ الْهِجَاءَ حُرِّفَ " . .
Abu Khalaf says that he was present with Ubaid bin Umair in the service of Umm al-Mu'mineen Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and submitted, "At this time I have come to you to ask about a verse: how did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recite it? Is it 'alladhīna ya'tūna mā ataw' or is it 'yu'tūna mā ataw'?" She asked, "Which of these two recitations do you prefer?" Ubaid replied, "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, one of these recitations is dearer to me than the whole world and whatever is in it." She asked, "Which one is that?" Ubaid replied, "'alladhīna ya'tūna mā ataw'." She said, "I bear witness that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also recited this verse in this way, and in this way the verse was revealed. However, in spelling, both are the same letter (their root is the same)."
