[Machine] When Abdullah wanted to come to the city, he gathered his companions and said, "By Allah, I hope that today I am among you with the best of what the Muslim armies have in terms of religion, understanding, and knowledge of the Quran. Indeed, this Quran was revealed with its fine details. By Allah, if two men were to dispute, it would be over nothing as severe as when a reciter says, 'This is how I recite it,' and the other says, 'No, both of you recite well.' Verily, truth guides to righteousness, and righteousness guides to paradise, while lying guides to disobedience, and disobedience guides to the Hellfire. Consider this by the words of one of you to his companion, 'You lied and sinned,' and by his saying, 'If you tell the truth, I believe you and exonerate you.' Indeed, this Quran does not differ or contradict, nor does it become insignificant due to the multitude of responses. So whoever recites it with precision, let him not abandon it out of desire. And whoever recites it with any of the letters that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught, let him not abandon it out of desire. For surely, whoever denies one of its ayahs, he denies all that it contains. It is like the saying of one of you to his companion, 'Hurry up and guide me.' By Allah, if I knew a man who had knowledge of what Allah revealed to Muhammad ﷺ more than me, I would seek his company until his knowledge increased to the level of my own. Indeed, there will be people who neglect prayers, so perform your prayers at their specified times and make your voluntary prayers along with them. And verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite the Quran in every Ramadan. And I presented the matter twice in the year he passed away, and he informed me that I was reciting it well. I have recited seventy chapters from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."  

أحمد:٣٨٤٥ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَابِسٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ هَمْدَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَمَا سَمَّاهُ لَنَا قَالَ

[Machine] "Some people from the people of Kufa came to him, so he recited peace upon them and commanded them to have taqwa (fear of God) and not to differ in the Quran and not to dispute about it. For indeed, it does not differ, nor does it fall apart, nor does it deviate due to the abundance of its response. Don't you see that the sharia of Islam is one, with its limits, its recitation, and the command of Allah in it? Even if it had been from two letters, one would have commanded something that the other forbade, that would have been the disagreement. But it comprehends all of that. And indeed, I hope that the best among you in understanding and knowledge may be from the people. If I knew anyone who could inform me about what Allah revealed to Muhammad, ﷺ , from me, then I would have sought him until his knowledge was increased to the level of my knowledge. I have known that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to be presented with the Quran once a year. It was presented to him twice in the year he passed away. When I recited the Quran to him, he would tell me that I am doing well. So whoever recites according to my recitation, let him not leave it out of desire. For indeed, whoever denies a letter from it, he denies it in its entirety."
