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.'"

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.

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
Suqita fi nafsi min at-takdhib wa la idh kuntu fil-jahiliyyah:
When the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) praised the recitation of both men, Satan cast such a strong and intense whispering of denial into my heart that never before, even during the period of ignorance (jahiliyyah), had such a severe whispering arisen in my heart.
(2)
Daraba fi sadri:
(When the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) perceived the state of my heart from my face,
in order to remove the satanic whispering and the doubt and suspicion about the truth that it had created in my heart,)
he struck his hand upon my chest,
so that I might attain reassurance and tranquility.
(3)
Fafidtu ‘araqan:
Then, out of fear and awe of Allah, I became drenched in sweat,
and all my astonishment and anxiety vanished, and my heart became firmly settled upon the truthfulness of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
(4)
Mas’alatun tas’aluniha:
For every request and every supplication, you may ask for one supplication,
the acceptance of which is definite and certain.
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) made this request three times.
Therefore, twice he supplicated for forgiveness for his ummah, and the third request he reserved for the Greatest Intercession (Shafa‘at Kubra) on the Day of Resurrection.
Benefits and Issues:
In this hadith, the first instance has been disregarded because in that instance Jibril (alayhis salam) had come, and later, upon the Prophet’s (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) questioning,
he would go and return with the answer.
When counting forward, the mention is made of the fourth coming.

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.
