البخاري:٥٠٦٠حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ عَنْ جُنْدَبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ مَا ائْتَلَفَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فَقُومُوا عَنْهُ

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Recite (and study) the Qur'an as long as you agree about its interpretation, but when you have any difference of opinion (as regards its interpretation and meaning) then you should stop reciting it (for the time being)'  

البخاري:٥٠٦١حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا سَلاَّمُ بْنُ أَبِي مُطِيعٍ عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ عَنْ جُنْدَبٍ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ مَا ائْتَلَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ قُلُوبُكُمْ فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فَقُومُوا عَنْهُ  

تَابَعَهُ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ وَأَبَانُ وَقَالَ غُنْدَرٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ سَمِعْتُ جُنْدَبًا قَوْلَهُ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ عُمَرَ قَوْلَهُ وَجُنْدَبٌ أَصَحُّ وَأَكْثَرُ

That he heard a man reciting a Quranic Verse which he had heard the Prophet ﷺ reciting in a different way. So he took that man to the Prophet (and told him the story). The Prophet ﷺ said, "Both of you are reciting in a correct way, so carry on reciting." The Prophet ﷺ further added, "The nations which were before you were destroyed (by Allah) because they differed."  

البخاري:٥٠٦٢حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنِ النَّزَّالِ بْنِ سَبْرَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَجُلاً يَقْرَأُ آيَةً

سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خِلاَفَهَا فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ فَانْطَلَقْتُ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ كِلاَكُمَا مُحْسِنٌ فَاقْرَآ أَكْبَرُ عِلْمِي قَالَ فَإِنَّ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمُ اخْتَلَفُوا فَأَهْلَكَهُمْ
