أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ الْفَرَّاءُ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الدَّارَابَجِرْدِيُّ، قَالَا: ثنا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَدَخَلَ رَجُلٌ فَقَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً أَنْكَرْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ فَقَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً سِوَى قِرَاءَةِ صَاحِبِهِ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَا دَخَلْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ قَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً أَنْكَرْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذَا قِرَاءَةً سِوَى قِرَاءَةِ صَاحِبِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلرَّجُلِ: " اقْرَأْ " فَقَرَأَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: لِلْآخَرِ " اقْرَأْ " فَقَرَأَ، فَقَالَ: " أَحْسَنْتُمَا أَوْ أَصَبْتُمَا " فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَسَّنَ شَأْنَهُمَا سَقَطَ فِي نَفْسِي وَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ قَالَ: فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا غَشِيَنِي ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ فِي صَدْرِي، فَفِضْتُ عَرَقًا وَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى اللهِ فَرَقًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " يَا أُبَيُّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ إِنَّ رَبِّي أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى حَرْفٍ " قَالَ: " فَرَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ يَا رَبِّ هَوِّنْ عَلَى أُمَّتِي فَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ الثَّانِيَةَ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى حَرْفٍ " قَالَ: " قُلْتُ: يَا رَبِّ هَوِّنْ عَلَى أُمَّتِي، فَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ الثَّالِثَةَ أَنِ اقْرَأْ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ وَلَكَ بِكُلِّ رَدَّةٍ رُدِدْتَهَا مَسْأَلَةٌ تَسْأَلَنِيهَا، فَقُلْتُ: اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِأُمَّتِي اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِأُمَّتِي، وَأَخَّرْتُ الثَّالِثَةَ إِلَى يَوْمٍ يَرْغَبُ إِلَيَّ فِيهِ الْخَلْقُ حَتَّى إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ " رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فَسَقَطَ فِي نَفْسِي مِنَ التَّكْذِيبِ وَلَا إِذْ كُنْتُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ: سَقَطَ فِي نَفْسِي وَكَبُرَ عَلَيَّ، وَلَا إِذْ كُنْتُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مَا كَبُرَ عَلَيَّ.
Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I was sitting in the mosque when a man entered and recited, and I found his recitation unfamiliar. Then another man came and recited in a way different even from the first one's recitation. When we left there, we went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I said: O Messenger of Allah, this man recited in a way that I object to, and this other one recited differently even from his companion's recitation.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to that man: "Recite," and he recited. Then he said to the other: "Recite," and he too recited. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Both of you have recited correctly." When I saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had approved of both of them, many misgivings arose in my heart, and I began to wish that I were at that moment in the Jahiliyyah (and had embraced Islam after it). When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw my condition, he struck my chest with his blessed hand; I broke into a sweat, and it was as if I were looking at Allah Almighty. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ubayy bin Ka'b, my Lord sent word to me (sent revelation) that I should recite the Qur'an in one mode, but I sent the angel back and said: O my Lord, make it easy for my Ummah. He repeated the same thing a second time: recite in one mode. I said: O my Lord, make it easy for my Ummah. Then the third time the reply came to me: recite the Qur'an in seven modes, and for every time you sent it back you have a supplication that you may make to Me. I said: O Allah, forgive my Ummah; O Allah, forgive my Ummah. And I have deferred the third supplication until the Day of Resurrection, the day on which all people will turn to me, even Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him)."
In the narration of Sahih Muslim: There arose in my heart a thought of denial such as I had not had even when I was in the Jahiliyyah. Another narration has: "Doubts arose in my heart, and this weighed on me so heavily that nothing like it had weighed on me even in the days of the Jahiliyyah."
