[Machine] I heard a man reciting Surah Al-Thalaathin (Surah Al-Ahqaf), so he recited a letter, and then another man recited a letter that his companion did not recite. I also recited some letters that my companions did not recite. So we went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him. He said, "Do not differ, for indeed those before you were destroyed due to their differences." Then he said, "Look for your best reciter and follow his recitation."  

سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا يَقْرَأُ حم الثَّلَاثِينَ يَعْنِي الْأَحْقَافَ فَقَرَأَ حَرْفًا وَقَرَأَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ حَرْفًا لَمْ يَقْرَأْهُ صَاحِبُهُ وَقَرَأْتُ أَحْرُفًا فَلَمْ يَقْرَأْهَا صَاحِبَيَّ فَانْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ فَقَالَ لَا تَخْتَلِفُوا فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِاخْتِلَافِهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ انْظُرُوا أَقْرَأَكُمْ رَجُلًا فَخُذُوا بِقِرَاءَتِهِ
