حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ : لَقِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جِبْرِيلَ فَقَالَ : " يَا جِبْرِيلُ ، إِنِّي بُعِثْتُ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ أُمِّيِّينَ ، مِنْهُمُ الْعَجُوزُ وَالشَّيْخُ الْكَبِيرُ ، وَالْغُلَامُ وَالْجَارِيَةُ وَالرَّجُلُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَقْرَأْ كِتَابًا قَطُّ ، قَالَ : " يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، إِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ أُنْزِلَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ " وَفِي الْبَابِ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ ، وَحُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَأُمِّ أَيُّوبَ وَهِيَ امْرَأَةُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، وَسَمُرَةَ ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَأَبِي جُهَيْمِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الصِّمَّةِ ، وَعَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ ، وَأَبِي بَكْرَةَ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ .
´Narrated Ubayy bin Ka'b:` "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) met Jibra'il and said: 'O Jibra'il! I have been sent to an illiterate nation among whom are the elderly woman, the old man, the boy and the girl, and the man who cannot read a book at all.' He said: 'O Muhammad! Indeed the Qur'an was revealed in seven modes.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Nasai — Hadith 942
´It was narrated that Ubayy said:` "I had no confusion in my mind from that time I embraced Islam, except when I recited a verse and another man recited it differently. I said: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught me this.' And the other man said: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught me too.' So I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: 'O Prophet of Allah, did you not teach me such and such a verse?' He said: 'Yes.' The other man said: 'Did you not teach me such and such a verse?' He said: 'Yes. Jibril and Mika'il, peace be upon them, came to me, and Jibril sat on my right and Mika'il on my left. Jibril, peace be upon him, said: "Recite the Quran with one way of recitation.' Mika'il said: 'Teach him more, teach him more- until there were seven modes of recitation, each of which is good and sound.'"
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
942. Commentary: Whenever there is a difference of opinion regarding any issue, one should refer back to Allah and His Messenger, that is, seek guidance from the Qur’an and Sunnah; one should not rely on personal reasoning (ijtihad) and conjectures.

Abu Dawud — Hadith 1477
Ubayy bin Kab reported: The Prophet ﷺ said: "Ubayy, I was asked to recite the Quran and I was asked: 'In one mode or two modes?' The angel that accompanied me said: 'Say, in two modes', I said: 'In two modes', I was asked again: 'In two or three modes'. The matter reached up to seven modes. He then said: 'Each mode is sufficiently health-giving, whether you utter 'all-hearing and all-knowing' or instead 'all-powerful and all-wise'. This is valid until you finish the verse indicating punishment on mercy and finish the verse indicating mercy on punishment. "
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1477. Commentary: This narration is authentic according to Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah. However, in the latter verses, the concession to alter the Divine Attributes was granted only to the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. No one from the Ummah has this right. It is obligatory to adhere to the established and mutawatir (mass-transmitted) recitation proven from the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
