ahmad:832ʿAbdullāh

’Abdullah bin Masʿood said: We differed concerning a soorah of the Qurʿan and said; (It is) thirty-five verses or thirty-six. We went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and found ‘Ali ؓ conversing with him. We said: We have differed concerning the recitation. The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned red and ‘Ali ؓ said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ is telling you to recite it as you were taught.  

أحمد:٨٣٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ سَعِيدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجَرْمِيُّ قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأُمَوِيُّ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ تَمَارَيْنَا فِي سُورَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَقُلْنَا خَمْسٌ وَثَلاثُونَ آيَةً سِتٌّ وَثَلاثُونَ آيَةً قَالَ
