Hadith 296

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ ، وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدٍ الْقَارِيِّ ، أنهما سمعا عمر ، يَقُولُ : مَرَرْتُ بِهِشَامِ بْنِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَاسْتَمَعْتُ قِرَاءَتَهُ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ يَقْرَأُ عَلَى حُرُوفٍ كَثِيرَةٍ لَمْ يُقْرِئْنِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَكِدْتُ أَنْ أُسَاوِرَهُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ، فَنَظَرْتُ حَتَّى سَلَّمَ ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ ، لَبَّبْتُهُ بِرِدَائِهِ ، فَقُلْتُ : مَنْ أَقْرَأَكَ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ الَّتِي تَقْرَؤُهَا ؟ قَالَ : أَقْرَأَنِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لَهُ : كَذَبْتَ ، فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَهُوَ أَقْرَأَنِي هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ الَّتِي تَقْرَؤُهَا ، قَالَ : فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَقُودُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ هَذَا يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ عَلَى حُرُوفٍ لَمْ تُقْرِئْنِيهَا ، وَأَنْتَ أَقْرَأْتَنِي سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ ! فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَرْسِلْهُ يَا عُمَرُ ، اقْرَأْ يَا هِشَامُ ، فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ الْقِرَاءَةَ الَّتِي سَمِعْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اقْرَأْ يَا عُمَرُ ، فَقَرَأْتُ الْقِرَاءَةَ الَّتِي أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ أُنْزِلَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ ، فَاقْرَءُوا مِنْهُ مَا تَيَسَّرَ " .
Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once during the time of Prophethood, I passed by Hisham bin Hakim while he was reciting Surah Al-Furqan. He was reciting certain letters in it which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had not taught me. My heart desired to question him right there in the prayer, but after he finished, I dragged him by his cloak and asked, "Who taught you to recite Surah Al-Furqan in this way?" He replied, "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did." I said, "You are lying! By Allah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also taught me this Surah." Saying this, I took his hand and brought him to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! You yourself taught me Surah Al-Furqan, but I heard him reciting it in letters which you did not teach me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Umar, let him go." Then he told Hisham to recite, and he recited in the same way as before. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "This Surah was revealed in this way." Then he said to me, "Umar, you also recite." So I recited, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It was revealed in this way as well." Then he said, "Indeed, this Qur'an was revealed upon seven modes of recitation, so recite whatever is easy for you from them."
