I heard a person reciting a (Qur'anic) Verse in a certain way, and I had heard the Prophet ﷺ reciting the same Verse in a different way. So I took him to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of that but I noticed the sign of disapproval on his face, and then he said, "Both of you are correct, so don't differ, for the nations before you differed, so they were destroyed."  

وَسَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ خِلاَفَهَا فَجِئْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَعَرَفْتُ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ وَقَالَ كِلاَكُمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَلاَ تَخْتَلِفُوا فَإِنَّ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمُ اخْتَلَفُوا فَهَلَكُوا  

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."  

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

[Machine] I heard from the Prophet ﷺ about their dispute, so I took it and brought it to the Prophet ﷺ . He recognized dislike in the face of the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Both of you are good, do not differ from each other. The greatest of my knowledge is that Misaar mentioned, 'Do not differ from each other.' Indeed, those who came before you differed and it destroyed them."  

سَمِعْتُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ خِلَافَهَا فَأَخَذْتُهُ فَجِئْتُ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ فَعَرَفْتُ فِي وَجْهِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ قَالَ كِلَاكُمَا مُحْسِنٌ لَا تَخْتَلِفُوا أَكْبَرُ عِلْمِي قَالَ مِسْعَرٌ قَدْ ذَكَرَ فِيهِ لَا تَخْتَلِفُوا إِنَّ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمُ اخْتَلَفُوا فَأَهْلَكَهُمْ  

[Machine] I heard a man recite a verse in a way different from how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had taught it. So, I took hold of his hand and went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, "Both of you are correct, don't differ with each other. My knowledge is vast, but if I do not know something, it is Ma'sura (Restricted). He then narrated the Hadith to me, saying, "Indeed, those who came before you differed in it, so they perished."  

سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا قَرَأَ آيَةً عَلَى غَيْرِ مَاأَقْرَأَنِيهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى ذَهَبْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ كِلَاكُمَا مُحْسِنٌ لَا تَخْتَلِفُوا أَكْبَرُ عِلْمِي وَإِلَّا فَمِسْعَرٌ حَدَّثَنِي بِهَا فَإِنَّ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمُ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ فَهَلَكُوا  

[Machine] "I heard a man reciting a verse differently from the way the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited it. So I took his hand and went with him to the Prophet ﷺ . The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Both of you have done well.' He (the man) said, 'But he became angry until anger could be seen on his face.' Shu'bah (narrator of the hadeeth) said, 'I think he (the Prophet) said, 'Do not differ, for those before you differed and were destroyed.'' "  

سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا يَقْرَأُ آيَةً عَلَى غَيْرِ مَا أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ كِلَاكُمَا قَدْ أَحْسَنَ قَالَ وَغَضِبَ حَتَّى عُرِفَ الْغَضَبُ فِي وَجْهِهِ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَكْبَرُ ظَنِّي أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا تَخْتَلِفُوا فَإِنَّ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمُ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ فَهَلَكُوا  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ reciting something other than what was written in front of me. So, I held his hand and went to the Prophet ﷺ . I saw that the face of the Prophet ﷺ had changed, and he said, "You both are good, do not differ in it, for indeed those who came before you differed in it."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ غَيْرَهَا فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ تَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ فَقَالَ «كِلَاكُمَا مُحْسِنٌ لَا تَخْتَلِفُوا فِيهِ فَإِنَّ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمُ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ»
