The Prophet ﷺ read the Qur'anic verse, "And take ye the Station of Abraham as a place of prayer.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَرَأَ { وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى }  

A man got up (for prayer) at night, he read the Qur'an and raised his voice in reading. When the morning came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: May Allah have mercy on so-and-so! Last night he reminded me a number of verses which I was about to forget.  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَرَأَ فَرَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ بِالْقُرْآنِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ فُلاَنًا كَائِنٌ مِنْ آيَةٍ أَذْكَرَنِيهَا اللَّيْلَةَ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَسْقَطْتُهَا  

The verse "And no Prophet could (ever) be false to his trust" was revealed about a red velvet. When it was found missing on the day of Badr, some people said; Perhaps the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has taken it. So Allah, the Exalted, sent down "And no prophet could (ever) be false to his trust" to the end of the verse. Abu Dawud said: In the word yaghulla the letter ya has a short vowel a.  

ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ { وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَغُلَّ } فِي قَطِيفَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ فُقِدَتْ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَخَذَهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ { وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَغُلَّ } إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ  

O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from niggardliness and old age.  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبُخْلِ وَالْهَرَمِ  

I came in the deputation of Banu al-Muntafiq to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. The Prophet ﷺ said: la tahsibanna (do not think) and did not say: la tahsabanna (do not think).  

كُنْتُ وَافِدَ بَنِي الْمُنْتَفِقِ أَوْ فِي وَفْدِ بَنِي الْمُنْتَفِقِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لاَ تَحْسِبَنَّ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ لاَ تَحْسَبَنَّ  

The Muslims met a man with some sheep of his. He said: Peace be upon you. But they killed him and took those few sheep. Thereupon the following Qur'anic verse was revealed: "...And say to anyone who offers you a salutation: Thou art none of believer, coveting the perishable good of this life." meaning these few sheep.  

لَحِقَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ رَجُلاً فِي غُنَيْمَةٍ لَهُ فَقَالَ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَأَخَذُوا تِلْكَ الْغُنَيْمَةَ فَنَزَلَتْ { وَلاَ تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ أَلْقَى إِلَيْكُمُ السَّلاَمَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًا تَبْتَغُونَ عَرَضَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا } تِلْكَ الْغُنَيْمَةَ  

The Prophet ﷺ used to read: "Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt (ghayru ulid-darari) but the narrator Sa'id did not say the words "used to read"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ { غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ } وَلَمْ يَقُلْ سَعِيدٌ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ read the verse: "eye for eye" (al-'aynu bil-'ayn).  

قَرَأَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ { وَالْعَيْنُ بِالْعَيْنِ }  

The Prophet ﷺ read the verse: "We ordained therein for them: Life for life and eye for eye (an-nafsa bin-nafsi wal-'aynu bil-'ayn).  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَرَأَ { وَكَتَبْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهَا أَنَّ النَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْسِ وَالْعَيْنُ بِالْعَيْنِ }  

Atiyyah ibn Sa'd al-Awfi said: I recited to Abdullah ibn Umar the verse: "It is Allah Who created you in a state of (helplessness) weakness (min da'f)." He said: (Read) min du'f. I recited it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as you recited it to me, and he gripped me as I gripped you.  

{ مِنْ ضُعْفٍ } قَرَأْتُهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا قَرَأْتَهَا عَلَىَّ فَأَخَذَ عَلَىَّ كَمَا أَخَذْتُ عَلَيْكَ  

The Prophet ﷺ read the verse mentioned above, "min du'f."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ { مِنْ ضُعْفٍ }  

"Say, in the bounty of Allah, and in His mercy- in that let you rejoice."  

Ubayy ibn Ka'b) said: The Prophet ﷺ read the verse: "Say: In the bounty of Allah and in His mercy--in that let you rejoice: that is better than the wealth you hoard."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَرَأَ { بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِ فَبِذَلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُوا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تَجْمَعُونَ }  

She heard the Prophet ﷺ read the verse: "He acted unrighteously." (innahu 'amila ghayra salih).  

أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ { إِنَّهُ عَمِلَ غَيْرَ صَالِحٍ }  

Shahr ibn Hawshab said: I asked Umm Salamah: How did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ read this verse: "For his conduct is unrighteous (innahu 'amalun ghayru salih". She replied: He read it: "He acted unrighteously" (innahu 'amila ghayra salih). Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Harun al-Nahwi and Musa b. Khalaf from Thabit as reported by the narrator 'Abd al-Aziz.  

سَأَلْتُ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ { إِنَّهُ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَالِحٍ } فَقَالَتْ قَرَأَهَا { إِنَّهُ عَمِلَ غَيْرَ صَالِحٍ }  

: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed, he began with himself and said: May the mercy of Allah be upon us and upon Moses. If he had patience, he would have seen marvels from his Companion. But he said: "(Moses) said: If ever I ask thee about anything after this, keep me not in they company: then wouldst thou have received (full) excuse from my side". Hamzah lengthened it.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَعَا بَدَأَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَقَالَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى مُوسَى لَوْ صَبَرَ لَرَأَى مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ الْعَجَبَ وَلَكِنَّهُ قَالَ { إِنْ سَأَلْتُكَ عَنْ شَىْءٍ بَعْدَهَا فَلاَ تُصَاحِبْنِي قَدْ بَلَغْتَ مِنْ لَدُنِي } طَوَّلَهَا حَمْزَةُ  

The Prophet ﷺ read the Qur'anic verse: "Thou hast received (full) excuse from me (min ladunni)" and put tashdid (doubling of consonants) on nun (n).  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَرَأَهَا { قَدْ بَلَغْتَ مِنْ لَدُنِّي } وَثَقَّلَهَا  

Ubayy ibn Ka'b made me read the following verse as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made him read: "in a spring of murky water" (fi 'aynin hami'atin) with short vowel a after h.  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ أَقْرَأَنِي أُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ كَمَا أَقْرَأَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ { فِي عَيْنٍ حَمِئَةٍ } مُخَفَّفَةً  

The Prophet ﷺ said: A man from the Illiyyun will look downwards at the people of Paradise and Paradise will be glittering as if it were a brilliant star. He (the narrator) said: In this way the word durri (brilliant) occurs in this tradition, i.e. the letter dal (d) has short vowel u and it has no hamzah ('). AbuBakr and Umar will be of them and will have some additional blessings.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْ أَهْلِ عِلِّيِّينَ لَيُشْرِفُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَتُضِيءُ الْجَنَّةُ لِوَجْهِهِ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ قَالَ وَهَكَذَا جَاءَ الْحَدِيثُ دُرِّيٌّ مَرْفُوعَةُ الدَّالِ لاَ تُهْمَزُ وَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ لَمِنْهُمْ وَأَنْعَمَا  

I came to the Prophet ﷺ. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. A man from the people said: "Messenger of Allah! tell us about Saba'; what is it: land or woman? He replied: It is neither land nor woman; it is a man to whom ten children of the Arabs were born: six of them lived in the Yemen and four lived in Syria. The narrator Uthman said al-Ghatafani instead of al-Ghutayfi. He said: It has been transmitted to us by al-Hasan ibn al-Hakam an-Nakha'i.  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ سَبَإٍ مَا هُوَ أَرْضٌ أَمِ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ بِأَرْضٍ وَلاَ امْرَأَةٍ وَلَكِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ وَلَدَ عَشَرَةً مِنَ الْعَرَبِ فَتَيَامَنَ سِتَّةٌ وَتَشَاءَمَ أَرْبَعَةٌ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ الْغَطَفَانِيِّ مَكَانَ الْغُطَيْفِيِّ وَقَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ النَّخَعِيُّ  

The Prophet ﷺ as saying - the narrator Isma'il transmitted it from Abu Hurairah, and mentioned the tradition about the coming down of revelation-: "So far (is this the case) that when terror is removed from their hearts."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رِوَايَةً فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثَ الْوَحْىِ قَالَ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى { حَتَّى إِذَا فُزِّعَ عَنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ }  

The reading of the following verse by the Prophet ﷺ goes: "Nay, but there came to thee (ja'atki) my signs, and thou didst reject them (fakadhdhabti biha) ; thou wast haughty (wastakbarti) and became one of those who reject Faith (wa kunti). Abu Dawud said: This is a mursal tradition, i.e. the link of the Companion has been omitted, for the narrator al-Rabi' did not meet Umm Salamah.  

عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ قِرَاءَةُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ { بَلَى قَدْ جَاءَتْكِ آيَاتِي فَكَذَّبْتِ بِهَا وَاسْتَكْبَرْتِ وَكُنْتِ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ }  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ read: "(There is for him) Rest and satisfaction" (faruhun wa rayhan).  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقْرَؤُهَا { فَرُوحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ }  

I heard the Prophet ﷺ read on the pulpit the verse: "They will cry: O Malik." Abu Dawud said: That is, without shortening the name (Malik).  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقْرَأُ { وَنَادَوْا يَا مَالِكُ }  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made me read the verse "It is I who give (all) sustenance, Lord of power, steadfast (for ever).  

أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ { إِنِّي أَنَا الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ }  

The Prophet ﷺ used to read the verse "Is there any that will receive admonition (muddakir)? " that is with doubling of consonant [(dal)(d)]. Abu Dawud said: The word muddakir may be pronounced as mim (m) with a short vowel u. (dal)(d) with a short vowel and kaf (k) with a short vowel i.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَؤُهَا { فَهَلْ مِنْ مُدَّكِرٍ } يَعْنِي مُثَقَّلاً  

I saw the Prophet ﷺ reading the verse; "does he think that his wealth would make him last for ever?"  

رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ { يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ }  

That the Prophet ﷺ made a man read the verse: "For, that day His chastisement will be such as none (else) can be chastised. And his bonds will be such as none (other) can be bound. Abu Dawud said: According to some (scholars), there is a narrator between the narrator Khalid and Abu Qilabah.  

عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ عَمَّنْ أَقْرَأَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ { فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لاَ يُعَذَّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ * وَلاَ يُوثَقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ }  

A man whom the Prophet ﷺ made the following verse read informed me, or he was informed by a man whom a man made the following verse read through a man whom the Prophet ﷺ made the following verse read: "For, that day His chastisement will be such as none (else) can be inflicted (la yu'adhdhabu) Abu Dawud said: 'Asim, al-A'mash, Talhah b. Musarrif, Abu Ja'far Yazid b. al-Qa'qa', Shaibah b. Nassah, Nafi' b. 'Abd al-Rahman, 'Abd Allah b. Kathir al-Dari, Abu 'Amr b. al-'Ala', Hamzat al-Zayyat, 'Abd al-Rahman al-A'raj, Qatadah, al-Hasan al-Basri, Mujahid, Hamid al=A'raj, Abd Allah b. 'Abbas and 'Abd al-Rahman b. Abi Bakr recited: "For,that day His chastisement will be such as none (else) can inflict (la ya'adhdhibu), and His bonds will be such as none (other) can bind (wa la yathiqu), except the verse mentioned in this tradition from the Prophet ﷺ. It has een read yu'adhdhabu with short vowel a in passive voice.  

أَنْبَأَنِي مَنْ أَقْرَأَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَوْ مَنْ أَقْرَأَهُ مَنْ أَقْرَأَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ { فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لاَ يُعَذَّبُ }  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ related a tradition in which he mentioned the words "Jibril and Mikal" and he pronounced them "Jibra'ila wa Mika'ila." Abu Dawud said: Khalaf said: I did not put the pen aside from writing letters (huruf) for forty years: nothing tired me (or made me incapable of writing), even Jibril and Mika'il did not tire me.  

حَدَّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا ذَكَرَ فِيهِ جِبْرِيلَ وَمِيكَالَ فَقَرَأَ { جِبْرَائِلَ وَمِيكَائِلَ }  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the name of the one who will sound the trumpet (sahib as-sur) and said: On his right will be Jibra'il and on his left will be Mika'il.  

ذُكِرَ كَيْفَ قِرَاءَةُ جِبْرَائِلَ وَمِيكَائِلَ عِنْدَ الأَعْمَشِ فَحَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ عَنْ سَعْدٍ الطَّائِيِّ عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ الْعَوْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَاحِبَ الصُّورِ فَقَالَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ جِبْرَائِلُ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ مِيكَائِلُ  

The Prophet ﷺ, AbuBakr, Umar and Uthman used to read "maliki yawmid-din (master of the Day of Judgment)". The first to read maliki yawmid-din was Marwan. Abu Dawud said: This is sounder that the tradition which transmitted by al-Zuhri from Anas, and al-Zuhri from Salim, from his father (Ibn 'Umar).  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ يَقْرَءُونَ { مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ } وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا { مَلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ } مَرْوَانُ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite: "In the name of Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds; most Gracious, most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgment," breaking its recitation into verses, one after another. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad (b. Hanbal) say: The early reading is: Maliki yawmi'l-din.  

أَنَّهَا ذَكَرَتْ أَوْ كَلِمَةً غَيْرَهَا قِرَاءَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ { بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ * الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ * الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ * مَلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ } يَقْطَعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ آيَةً آيَةً  

I was sitting behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was riding a donkey while the sun was setting. He asked: Do you know where this sets ? I replied: Allah and his Apostle know best. He said: It sets in a spring of warm water (Hamiyah).  

كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَالشَّمْسُ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِهَا فَقَالَ هَلْ تَدْرِي أَيْنَ تَغْرُبُ هَذِهِ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا تَغْرُبُ فِي عَيْنِ حَامِيَةٍ  

The Prophet ﷺ came to them in the swelling place of immigrants and a man asked him: Which is the greatest verse of the Qur'an ? The Prophet ﷺ replied: Allah, there is no god but He - the Living, the Self-Subsisting Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَاءَهُمْ فِي صُفَّةِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَسَأَلَهُ إِنْسَانٌ أَىُّ آيَةٍ فِي الْقُرْآنِ أَعْظَمُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ { اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَىُّ الْقَيُّومُ لاَ تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلاَ نَوْمٌ }  

Ibn Mas'ud said read the verse: "Now come, thou" (haita laka). Then Shariq said: We read it, "hi'tu laka" (I am prepared for thee). Ibn Mas'ud said: I read it as I have been taught ; it is dearer to me.  

شَقِيقٌ إِنَّا نَقْرَؤُهَا { هِئْتُ لَكَ } يَعْنِي فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَقْرَؤُهَا كَمَا عُلِّمْتُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ  

'Abd Allah (b. Mas'ud) was told that the people had read this verse: "She said: Now come, thou" (hita laka). He said: I read it as I have been taught ; it is dearer to me. It goes "wa qalat haita laka" (She said: Now come thou).  

قِيلَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُنَاسًا يَقْرَءُونَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ { وَقَالَتْ هِيتَ لَكَ } فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَقْرَأُ كَمَا عُلِّمْتُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ { وَقَالَتْ هَيْتَ لَكَ }  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah, the Exalted, said to the children of Israel : "... but enter the gate with humility, in posture and in words, and you will be forgiven your faults (tughfar lakum)".  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ { ادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا وَقُولُوا حِطَّةٌ تُغْفَرْ لَكُمْ خَطَايَاكُمْ }  

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Hisham b. Sa'd with a different chain of narrators in a similar way.  

عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلَهُ  

The revelation came down to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he recited to is: "A surah which We have sent down and which We have ordained (faradnaha)" Abu Dawud said: The letter ra (r) is the word faradnaha has short vowel a (with out doubling of consonant r), and then he reached the verses after this verse.  

نَزَلَ الْوَحْىُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا { سُورَةٌ أَنْزَلْنَاهَا وَفَرَضْنَاهَا }
