ahmad:3422Yaʿlá And Muḥammad al-Maʿná > al-Aʿmash > Abū Ẓabyān > Ibn ʿAbbās > Ay al-Qirāʾatayn Taʿuddūn Awwal > Qirāʾah ʿAbdullāh

[Machine] Which recitation do you consider to be the first? They said the recitation of Abdullah. He said, no, rather it is the "Akhirah" (the last recitation). The Quran used to be presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ once every year. But in the year in which he died, it was presented to him twice. Abdullah witnessed this and knew what was abrogated from it and what was substituted.  

أحمد:٣٤٢٢حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى وَمُحَمَّدٌ الْمَعْنَى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

أَيُّ الْقِرَاءَتَيْنِ تَعُدُّونَ أَوَّلَ؟ قَالُوا قِرَاءَةَ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ لَا بَلْ هِيَ الْآخِرَةُ كَانَ يُعْرَضُ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ مَرَّةً فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَشَهِدَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَعَلِمَ مَا نُسِخَ مِنْهُ وَمَا بُدِّلَ

[Machine] Which of the two recitations was the last, Abdullah's recitation or Zaid's recitation? He said, we said, Zaid's recitation. He said, no, indeed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite the Qur'an to Gabriel once every year. But in the year he passed away, he recited it to him twice. And Abdullah's recitation was the last recitation.  

أحمد:٢٤٩٤حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَابِقٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ

أَيُّ الْقِرَاءَتَيْنِ كَانَتْ أَخِيرًا قِرَاءَةُ عَبْدِاللهِ أَوْ قِرَاءَةُ زَيْدٍ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا قِرَاءَةُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ لَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْرِضُ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى جَبْرَيلَ كُلَّ عَامٍ مَرَّةً فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الْعَامِ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ عَرَضَهُ عَلَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَكَانَتْ آخِرَ الْقِرَاءَةِ قِرَاءَةُ عَبْدِ اللهِ

[Machine] Indeed, Gabriel, ﷺ , used to present the Quran to the Prophet ﷺ every year in Ramadan. He said that he presented the Quran to him twice in the year in which the Prophet ﷺ passed away. Abdullah witnessed what was abrogated from it and what was changed, besides the recitation of Abdullah at the end.  

الطبراني:١٢٦٠٢حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنْبَاعِ رَوْحُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ ثنا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرٍّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَيُّ الْقِرَاءَتَيْنٍ تَقْرَأُ؟ قُلْتُ الْآخِرَةُ قَالَ

فَإِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ كَانَ يَعْرِضُ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كُلَّ عَامٍ فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنَ فِي الْعَامِ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَشَهِدَ عَبْدُ اللهِ مَا نُسِخَ مِنْهُ وَمَا بُدِّلَ فَقِرَاءَةُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْآخِرَةُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to have the Quran presented to him every year, and it was presented to him twice in the year he passed away. Abdullah witnessed what was abrogated.  

الكبرى للنسائي:٧٩٤٠أَخْبَرَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مُعْتَمِرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ قَالَ قَالَ لَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «§أَيُّ الْقِرَاءَتَيْنِ تَقْرَءُونَ؟» قُلْنَا قِرَاءَةَ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

«إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُعْرَضُ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنُ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ مَرَّةً وَإِنَّهُ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْعَامِ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَشَهِدَ عَبْدُ اللهِ مَا نُسِخَ»

[Machine] Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to review the Quran every year, and it was reviewed twice in the year he passed away. Abdullah witnessed what was repealed.  

الكبرى للنسائي:٨٢٠١أَخْبَرَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مُعْتَمِرٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ قَالَ قَالَ لَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «§أَيُّ الْقِرَاءَتَيْنِ تَقْرَءُونَ؟» قُلْنَا قِرَاءَةَ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

إِنَّ «رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يعْرِضُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ مَرَّةً وَإِنَّهُ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْعَامِ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَشَهِدَ عَبْدُ اللهِ مَا نُسِخَ»
