[Machine] We learned the Quran in this mosque, which is known as the Basra Mosque. We used to sit in circles, as if I was watching it between two white garments. I took this Surah from it, "Read in the name of your Lord who created." [Al-Alaq 1] He said, and it was the first Surah revealed to Muhammad ﷺ.  

تَعَلَّمْنَا الْقُرْآنَ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ يَعْنِي مَسْجِدَ الْبَصْرَةِ وَكُنَّا نَجْلِسُ حِلَقًا حِلَقًا وَكَأَنَّمَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ بَيْنَ ثَوْبَيْنِ أَبْيَضَيْنِ وَعَنْهُ أَخَذْتُ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ {اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكِ الَّذِي خَلَقَ} [العلق 1] قَالَ وَكَانَتْ أَوَّلَ سُورَةٍ أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ  

[Machine] The first verse that was revealed is "Read in the name of your Lord, who created." [Al-Alaq 1]. According to a Muslim condition.  

أَوَّلُ سُورَةٍ نَزَلَتْ {اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ} [العلق 1] على شرط مسلم  

[Machine] The first thing that was revealed from the Quran, "Read in the name of your Lord Who created" (Al-Alaq 1), based on the conditions of Bukhari and Muslim.  

إِنَّ أَوَّلَ شَيْءٍ نَزَلَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ {اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكِ الَّذِي خَلَقَ} [العلق 1] على شرط البخاري ومسلم  

Ibn ‘Abbas ؓ said to us. I said to ‘Uthman bin ʿAffan: What made you take al-Anfal, which is one of al-Mathani (the seven long soorahs), and Baraʿah, which is one of al-Miʿeen (soorahs with one hundred verses or thereabouts), and put them next to one another and not write - Ibn Jaʿfar said: A line between them saying Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Raheem - and you put them with the seven long ones? What made you do that? ʿUthman ؓ said: Sometimes many soorahs would be revealed (incomplete) to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and when something was revealed he would call one of the scribes to write it down for him and say: “Put this in the Soorah in which such and such is mentionedʿ; and verses would be revealed to him and he would say, ʿPut these verses in the soorah in which such and such is mentioned”; and a verse would be revealed to him and he would say: ʿPut this verse in the soorah in which such and such is mentioned.” Al-Anfal was one of the first soorahs to be revealed in Madinah and Baraʿah was one of the last soorahs of the Qurʿan, and the stories and content of the two soorahs were similar. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away without having stated clearly to us that it was part of it, but we thought that it was, hence I put them together and I did not put between them the line Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Raheem. Ibn Jaʿfar said: I put it with the seven long ones. (Using translation from Aḥmad 399)   

أَنْ عَمَدْتُمْ إِلَى الْأَنْفَالِ وَهِيَ مِنَ الْمَثَانِي وَإِلَى الْبَرَاءَةِ وَهِيَ مِنَ الْمِئِينَ فَقَرَنْتُمْ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَمْ تَكْتُبُوا بَيْنَهُمَا سَطْرَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَوَضَعْتُمُوهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الطِّوَالِ مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ الزَّمَانُ تَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ السُّوَرُ ذَوَاتُ عَدَدٍ فَكَانَ إِذَا نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الشَّيْءُ يَدْعُو بَعْضَ مَنْ كَانَ يَكْتُبُهُ فَيَقُولُ «ضَعُوا هَذِهِ فِي السُّورَةِ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا» وَتَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ الْآيَةُ فَيَقُولُ «ضَعُوا هَذِهِ فِي السُّورَةِ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا» فَكَانَتِ الْأَنْفَالُ مِنْ أَوَائِلِ مَا نَزَلَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَبَرَاءَةُ مِنْ آخِرِ الْقُرْآنِ فَكَانَتْ قِصَّتُهَا شَبِيهَةً بِقِصَّتِهَا فَقُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَنَا أَنَّهَا مِنْهَا فَمِنْ ثَمَّ قَرَنْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَمْ أَكْتُبْ بَيْنَهُمَا سَطْرَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the day of Badr, "Whoever kills a warrior, he will have this and that reward." The elders stood firm under the banners, while the young men hastened towards fighting and gaining spoils. The elders said to the young men, "Include us with you, for we were a shield for you. If you had anything, you would have come to us." They refused, so they argued and went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then the verse (They ask you about the spoils) [Quran 8:1] was revealed, and the spoils were distributed equally among them.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ «مَنْ قَتَلَ قَتِيلًا فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا» أَمَّا الْمَشْيَخَةُ فَثَبَتُوا تَحْتَ الرَّايَاتِ وَأَمَّا الشُّبَّانُ فَتَسَارَعُوا إِلَى الْقَتْلِ وَالْغَنَائِمَ فَقَالَتِ الْمَشْيَخَةُ لِلشُّبَّانِ أَشْرِكُونَا مَعَكُمْ فَإِنَّا كُنَّا رِدْأً لَكُمْ وَلَوْ كَانَ فِيكُمْ شَيْءٌ لَجِئْتُمْ إِلَيْنَا فَأَبَوْا فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ {يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْأَنْفَالِ} [الأنفال 1] فَقُسِمَتِ الْغَنَائِمُ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ  

[Machine] "Allah sent down the Quran to the lower heaven on the Night of Decree. Whenever Allah wills to reveal something from it or bring about something on the earth, He commands it to occur."  

«أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ الْقُرْآنَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَكَانَ اللَّهُ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُوحِيَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا أَوْحَاهُ أَوْ أَنْ يُحْدِثَ مِنْهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ شَيْئًا أَحْدَثَهُ»  

[Machine] Abu Bakr and Uthman, the sons of Abu Shaybah, narrated that Jarir reported from Mansour, who reported from Sa'id ibn Jubair, who reported from Ibn Abbas regarding the saying of Allah, 'Verily, We have sent it down in the Night of Power.' (Quran 97:1) He said, "The Quran was revealed as a whole in one night of the Night of Power to the lower heaven, in the position of the stars. And Allah would reveal it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ part by part in succession." He also said, "They said, 'Why was the Quran not sent down to him all at once? Thus, we would strengthen your heart thereby. And We have revealed it to you in gradual stages.'" (Quran 25:32)  

ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُثْمَانُ ابْنَا أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ} [القدر 1] قَالَ أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ جُمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا وَكَانَ بِمَوْقِعِ النُّجُومِ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ يُنَزِّلُهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعْضَهُ فِي أَثَرِ بَعْضٍ قَالَ وَقَالُوا {لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنُ جُمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً كَذَلِكَ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهِ فُؤَادَكَ وَرَتَّلْنَاهُ تَرْتِيلًا} [الفرقان 32]  

[Machine] The Quran was revealed in its entirety to the lower heaven on the Night of Decree, and then revealed after that over the course of twenty years. "And they bring you not an example but We bring you the truth and the best interpretation of it." [Al-Furqan 33] "And [it is] a Qur'an which We have separated [by intervals] that you might recite it to the people over a prolonged period. And We have sent it down progressively." [Al-Isra' 106]  

أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ جُمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ ثُمَّ أُنْزِلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً {وَلَا يَأْتُونَكَ بِمَثَلٍ إِلَّا جِئْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَحْسَنَ تَفْسِيرًا} [الفرقان 33] {وَقُرْآنًا فَرَقْنَاهُ لِتَقْرَأَهُ عَلَى النَّاسِ عَلَى مُكْثٍ وَنَزَّلْنَاهُ تَنْزِيلًا} [الإسراء 106]  

[Machine] The translation of the given text, «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا يَرْفَعُ طَرْفَهُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ الْوَحْيُ», is:

"When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ received a revelation, none of us could even raise their gaze towards him until the revelation had been completed."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا يَرْفَعُ طَرْفَهُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ الْوَحْيُ»  

[Machine] "The Quran was separated from the remembrance and was placed in the House of Honor in the lowest heaven. Then Gabriel, peace be upon him, descended it upon the Prophet ﷺ and recited it to him."  

«فُصِلَ الْقُرْآنُ مِنَ الذِّكْرِ فَوُضِعَ فِي بَيْتِ الْعِزَّةِ فِي السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَجَعَلَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يُنْزِلُهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَيُرَتِّلُهُ تَرْتِيلًا»  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Disputing in the Quran is disbelief." Umar ibn Abu Salamah then narrated this from his father, according to the conditions of Muslim.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مِرَاءٍ فِي الْقُرْآنِ كُفْرٌ» تَابَعَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِعلى شرط مسلم  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Debating about the Quran is disbelief." This is a narration from al-Mu'tamir from Muhammad ibn Amr, authentic according to the conditions of Muslim, but they did not include it. As for Umar ibn Abi Salamah, they did not use it as evidence.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْجِدَالُ فِي الْقُرْآنِ كُفْرٌ» حَدِيثُ الْمُعْتَمِرِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ فَأَمَّا عُمَرُ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَإِنَّهُمَا لَمْ يَحْتَجَّا بِهِ  

[Machine] From the Prophet (pbuh) who said, "The Quran was revealed with three letters."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْرُفٍ»  

[Machine] "Read for me, O Messenger of Allah, Surah Ham. I went to the mosque in the evening and a group of people sat with me. I said to a man from the group, 'Read upon me.' So he started reciting letters which I could not recite. I asked him, 'Who taught you this recitation?' He replied, 'The Messenger of Allah taught me.' So we went to the Messenger of Allah and there was a man sitting with him. I said to him, 'We have a difference in our recitation.' When the Messenger of Allah turned his attention towards us, his facial expression changed and I saw in him that he found it strange when I mentioned the difference. He said, 'The differences have destroyed those who came before you.' Then he whispered to me, and Ali said, 'The Messenger of Allah commands you all to recite as you have been taught.' So we left, and each one of us recited letters that his companion could not recite."  

أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُورَةَ حم وَرُحْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ عَشِيَّةً فَجَلَسَ إِلَيَّ رَهْطٌ فَقُلْتُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الرَّهْطِ اقْرَأْ عَلَيَّ فَإِذَا هُوَ يَقْرَأُ حُرُوفًا لَا أَقْرَؤُهَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَنْ أَقْرَأَكَهَا؟ قَالَ أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِذَا عِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ اخْتَلَفَا فِي قِرَاءَتِنَا فَإِذَا وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ تَغَيَّرَ وَوَجَدَ فِي نَفْسِهِ حِينَ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ الِاخْتِلَافَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا أَهْلَكَ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمُ الِاخْتِلَافُ» ثُمَّ أَسَرَّ إِلَيَّ عَلِيٌّ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ كَمَا عَلِمَ فَانْطَلَقْنَا وَكُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا يَقْرَأُ حُرُوفًا لَا يَقْرَؤُهَا صَاحِبُهُ  

[Machine] We went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and found a man with him. He said, "Visit him, for they are appointing him as the successor, meaning Ali."  

فِيهِ فَانْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِذَا عِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ قَالَ زِرٌّ إِنَّهُمْ يُعَيِّنُونَهُ يَعْنِي عَلِيًّا  

[Machine] "Do not oppose people with your opinion in following."  

أَنْ لَا يُخَالِفَ النَّاسُ بِرَأْيِكَ فِي الِاتِّبَاعِ»  

[Machine] "We have read the detailed Quran in Makkah as a pilgrimage, O believers."  

قَرَأْنَا الْمُفَصَّلَ بِمَكَّةَ حِجَجًا لَيْسَ فِيهِ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا  

[Machine] "To me, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, Allah has commanded me to recite the Quran to you.' So he recited, 'Those who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists' [Al-Bayyinah, 1]. And from his description is that if the son of Adam asked for a valley full of wealth, then he would ask for a second, and if he were given a second, he would ask for a third, and nothing would fill the stomach of the son of Adam except dust. And Allah forgives those who repent. Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. And whoever does righteousness will not be denied [his due reward].'"  

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَقْرَأَ عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ» فَقَرَأَ {لَمْ يَكُنِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ} [البينة 1] وَمِنْ نَعْتِهَا لَوْ أَنَّ ابْنَ آدَمَ سَأَلَ وَادِيًا مِنْ مَالٍ فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ سَأَلَ ثَانِيًا وَإِنْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ ثَانِيًا سَأَلَ ثَالِثًا وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ وَإِنَّ الدِّينَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الْحَنِيفِيَّةُ غَيْرَ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَلَا النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ خَيْرًا فَلَنْ يُكْفَرَهُ  

[Machine] From Nubayh Al-Anzi, from Ibn Abbas, who said: While I was reciting a verse from the Book of Allah Almighty and walking in one of the streets of Madinah, suddenly a man called out to me from behind, saying, "Follow Ibn Abbas." It turned out to be the Amir al-Mu'minin Umar. I said, "Shall I follow you to Ubayy ibn Ka'b and see if he recites it the same way?" He said, "Did he recite it to you the way you recited it?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Then send with me a messenger." He said, "Go with him to Ubayy ibn Ka'b, and see if he recites it the same way." So I set out with his messenger to Ubayy ibn Ka'b. I said, "O Ubayy, I recited a verse from the Book of Allah, and then Umar ibn al-Khattab called me after himself and said, 'Follow Ibn Abbas.' I said, 'Shall I follow you to Ubayy ibn Ka'b and see if he recites it the same way?' Then he sent his messenger with me, and did you recite it to him the way you recited it to me?" Ubayy said, "Yes." So the messenger returned to him, and I went about my business. Umar went to Ubayy, and I found him finishing washing his head, with his slave girl twisting his beard with a comb. Ubayy said, "Welcome, O Amir al-Mu'minin. Have you come as a visitor, or do you have a need?" Umar said, "I have a need." He sat down, and with him were two of his servants, until he finished his beard and she combed back the right side. Then she combed the left side. When he finished, he turned his face towards Umar and said, "What is the need of the Amir al-Mu'minin?" Umar said, "O Ubayy, how well the people are being deceived!" Ubayy said, "O Amir al-Mu'minin, I received the Qur'an directly from Jibreel while he was moist." Umar said, "By Allah, neither are you at fault, nor am I forbearing with you." He repeated this three times, then he got up and went away.  

عَنْ نُبَيْحٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَقْرَأُ آيَةً مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ ﷻ وَأَنَا أَمْشِي فِي طَرِيقٍ مِنْ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَجُلٍ يُنَادِينِي مِنْ بَعْدِي اتَّبِعِ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عُمَرُ فَقُلْتُ أَتَّبِعُكَ عَلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فَقَالَ أَهُوَ أَقْرَأَكَهَا كَمَا سَمِعْتُكَ تَقْرَأُ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعِي رَسُولًا قَالَ اذْهَبْ مَعَهُ إِلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فَانْظُرْ أَيُقْرِئُ أُبَيٌّ كَذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُهُ إِلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أُبَيُّ قَرَأْتُ آيَةً مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَنَادَانِي مِنْ بَعْدِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ اتَّبِعِ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقُلْتُ أَتَّبِعُكَ عَلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فَأَرْسَلَ مَعِي رَسُولَهُ أَفَأَنْتَ أَقْرَأْتَنِيهَا كَمَا قَرَأْتَ؟ قَالَ أُبَيٌّ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ الرَّسُولُ إِلَيْهِ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا إِلَى حَاجَتِي قَالَ فَرَاحَ عُمَرُ إِلَى أُبَيٍّ فَوَجَدْتُ قَدْ فَرَغَ مِنْ غُسْلِ رَأْسِهِ وَوَلِيدَتُهُ تَدَّرِي لِحْيَتَهُ بِمِدْرَاهَا فَقَالَ أُبَيٌّ مَرْحَبًا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَزَائِرًا جِئْتَ أَمْ طَالِبَ حَاجَةٍ؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بَلْ طَالِبُ حَاجَةٍ قَالَ فَجَلَسَ وَمَعَهُ مَوْلَيَانِ لَهُ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ لِحْيَتِهِ وَأَدْرَتْ جَانِبَهُ الْأَيْمَنَ مِنْ لِمَّتِهِ ثُمَّ وَلَّاهَا جَانِبَهُ الْأَيْسَرَ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ مَا حَاجَةُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا أُبَيُّ عَلَى مَا تُقَنِّطُ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ أُبَيٌّ «يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنِّي تَلَقَّيْتُ الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ جِبْرِيلَ وَهُوَ رَطْبٌ» فَقَالَ عُمَرُ تَالَلَّهِ مَا أَنْتَ بِمُنْتَهٍ وَمَا أَنَا بِصَابِرٍ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَانْطَلَقَ  

[Machine] He used to recite, "When those who disbelieved had put into their hearts chauvinism - the chauvinism of the time of ignorance..." (Quran 48:26) "And if you could but see when they are made to stand at the (Hell) Fire and will say, 'Oh, would that we could be returned [to life on earth] and not deny the signs of our Lord and be among the believers.'" (Quran 6:27) When Umar heard this, he became furious. Ubayy said to him, "Do you want to argue with me? I know that I used to enter upon the Prophet ﷺ and he would recite to me, and you would be at the door. If you would like, I can recite to the people according to what he used to recite to me, but if not, then I will not recite a single letter." Umar replied, "Rather, recite to the people."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ {إِذْ جَعَلَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الْحَمِيَّةَ حَمِيَّةَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ} [الفتح 26] وَلَوْ حَمَيْتُمْ كَمَا حَمُوا لَفَسَدَ الْمَسْجِدُ الْحَرَامُ {فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ} [الفتح 26] فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرَ فَاشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَهْنَأُ نَاقَةً لَهُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَدَعَا نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِيهِمْ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَقْرَأُ مِنْكُمْ سُورَةَ الْفَتْحِ؟ فَقَرَأَ زَيْدٌ عَلَى قِرَاءَتِنَا الْيَوْمَ فَغَلَّظَ لَهُ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أُبَيٌّ أَأَتَكَلَّمُ؟ فَقَالَ تَكَلَّمْ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ «أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَدْخُلُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَيُقْرِئُنِي وَأَنْتُمْ بِالْبَابِ فَإِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ أَنْ أُقْرِئَ النَّاسَ عَلَى مَا أَقْرَأَنِي أَقْرَأَتْ وَإِلَّا لَمْ أُقْرِئْ حَرْفًا مَا حَيِيتُ» قَالَ بَلْ أَقْرِئِ النَّاسَ  

[Machine] "I came to the city to learn knowledge, so when I entered the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I found the people sitting in circles and talking. I started to walk until I reached a circle where a pale man with two worn-out garments, as if he had just arrived from a journey, was speaking. I heard him saying, 'The people of intellect have perished, and by the Lord of the Kaaba, I have no grief for them.' He repeated this statement three times. I sat down next to him and he spoke about what had been decreed for him. Then he got up and I asked about him, and they said, 'This is the leader of the people, Ubayy ibn Ka'b.' I followed him until he reached his house, and it was dilapidated, his clothes were worn-out, and his appearance was neglected, as various aspects of his life resembled each other. I greeted him and he responded with greetings. Then he asked me, 'Who are you?' I replied, 'I am from the people of Iraq.' He said, 'Asking questions is what you mostly do.' And he became angry. He faced the direction of the Qibla, then knelt down on his knees, raised his hands, and extended his arms like this, and said, 'O Allah, we complain about them to You. We spend our money, exert ourselves, and move our mules seeking knowledge, but when we meet them, they scowl at us and say, 'Go away from us.' Ubayy then started to cry and express his dissatisfaction, saying, 'Woe to you, I did not go there for this purpose.' Then he said, 'I promise you, if you keep me until Friday, I will speak about what I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ without fear of any reproach.' Then I left him and waited for Friday. When Thursday came, I went out for some of my needs, and I found the roads filled with people. I couldn't go anywhere without people facing me.' I asked, 'What's the matter with the people?' They said, 'We see you as a stranger.' I said, 'Indeed.' They said, 'The leader of the Muslims, Ubayy ibn Ka'b, has passed away.' I said, 'Then I met Abu Musa in Iraq and I spoke with him.' He said, 'Why didn't he stay until we heard from him?'

I have come from Koofah, O Ameer al-­Mu'mineen, and I left behind in it a man who dictates the Mushaf From memory. ‘Umar got exceedingly angry and said: Who is he, woe to you? He said: 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood. ‘Umar began to calm down, and went back to normal, then he said: Woe to you, I do not know of anyone who is more qualified to do that than him, and I will tell you about that. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to stay up at night talking with Abu Bakr ؓ discussing some affairs of the Muslims. He stayed up talking with him one night, and I was with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out, and we went out with him, and we saw a man standing and praying in the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ listened to his recitation, and as soon as we recognised him the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿWhoever would like to recite the Qur'an fresh as it was revealed, let him recite it according to the recitation of Ibn Umm 'Abd.ʿ Then the same man sat and offered supplication (du'a') and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ started saying to him: ʿAsk, you will be given;ask, you will be given.” ‘Umar said: By Allah, I shall go to him tomorrow and tell hirm the glad tidings. I went to him the next morning to tell him the glad tidings, and I found that Abu Bakr had beaten me to it and given him the glad tidings. By Allah, I never competed with him to do good but he beat me to it. (Using translation from Aḥmad 175)

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "Whoever wishes to recite the Quran as it was revealed, then let them recite it in the style of Ibn Umm Abd." This is the narration of Alqamah from Umar, and it is authentic according to the conditions of Al-Bukhari and Muslim. However, they did not include it in their collections. Alqamah himself transmitted it from Umar, but its authenticity in their eyes is questionable. Allah knows best, and there is a witness who commented on it from the hadith of Ammar ibn Yasar.  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ غَضًّا كَمَا أُنْزِلَ فَلْيَقْرَأْهُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ» حَدِيثُ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عُمَرَ صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ وَأَتَوَهَمُهُمَا لَمْ يَصِحَّ عِنْدَهُمَا سَمَاعُ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ مِنْ عُمَرَ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ وَلَهُ شَاهِدٌ مُفَسَّرٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ  

[Machine] The translation of the provided Arabic sentence is: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by Abdullah ibn Mas'ood while he was reciting letter by letter. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever wishes to recite the Qur'an as it was revealed, then let him recite it according to the recitation of Ibn Mas'ood.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ حَرْفًا حَرْفًا فَقَالَ «مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَا أُنْزِلَ فَلْيَقْرَأْهُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ»  

[Machine] Your mother cursed you, saying, "May I not see you praying when the book of Allah has commanded that every torn page be torn apart." So I continued with my prayer, while sitting. Then I entered the house and did not sit. I recited some verses, and still, I did not sit. Suddenly, I found myself with Al-Ash'ari, Hudhayfah, and Ibn Mas'ud speaking to each other. Hudhayfah said to Ibn Mas'ud, "Pass this Quran to them." Ibn Mas'ud replied, "By Allah, I will not give it to them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited to me seventy-two Surahs, then I will pass it to them. By Allah, I will not give it to them."  

ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ أَلَا أَرَاكَ تُصَلِّي وَقَدْ أَمَرَ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ أَنْ يُمَزَّقَ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ قَالَ فَتَجَوَّزْتُ فِي صَلَاتِي وَكُنْتُ أَجْلِسُ فَدَخَلْتُ الدَّارَ وَلَمْ أَجْلِسْ وَرَقِيتُ فَلَمْ أَجْلِسْ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِالْأَشْعَرِيِّ وَحُذَيْفَةَ وَابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَتَقَاوَلَانِ وَحُذَيْفَةُ يَقُولُ لِابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ادْفَعْ إِلَيْهِمْ هَذَا الْمُصْحَفَ قَالَ «وَاللَّهِ لَا أَدْفَعُهُ إِلَيْهِمْ أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِضْعًا وَسَبْعِينَ سُورَةً ثُمَّ أَدْفَعُهُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَاللَّهِ لَا أَدْفَعُهُ إِلَيْهِمْ»  

[Machine] "Abdullah ibn Mas'ood said: 'I have read 70 chapters from the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ Quran.' And Zaid ibn Thabit, who had two weak calves, used to play with the children."  

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ «لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً» وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ذُو ذُؤَابَتَيْنِ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الصِّبْيَانِ  

[Machine] I heard Abdullah ibn Mas'ood say: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited to me seventy Surahs, which I had memorized before Zaid ibn Thabit embraced Islam." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about this in his summary.  

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ «أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً أَحْكَمْتُهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "We sat, a group from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , and said, 'If we knew which actions are most beloved to Allah, we would perform them.' So Allah, the Most High, revealed: 'Glorify Allah, whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do? It is most hateful to Allah that you say that which you do not do. Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in His cause in a line as though they are a [single] structure joined firmly.' He recited this until the end of the Surah, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited it to us. Muhammad ibn Kathir added in his narration, 'And Al-Awza'i recited it to us in this way.' Muhammad ibn Kathir said, 'And Al-Awza'i recited it to us in this way.' Ibrahim said, 'And Muhammad ibn Kathir recited it to us until the end of the Surah in this way.' Abu Amr ibn As-Sammak said, 'And Ibrahim ibn Al-Haytham recited it to us until the end of the Surah in this way.'"  

قَعَدْنَا نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْنَا لَوْ نَعْلَمُ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَمِلْنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَنْ تَقُولُوا مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ صَفًّا كَأَنَّهُمْ بُنْيَانٌ مَرْصُوصٌ} إِلَى آخِرِ السُّورَةِ وَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ زَادَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَقَالَ لَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ «قَرَأَهَا عَلَيْنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ هَكَذَا» قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ «وَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ هَكَذَا» قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ «وَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ إِلَى آخِرِ السُّورَةِ هَكَذَا» قَالَ أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ السَّمَّاكِ «وَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ إِلَى آخِرِ السُّورَةِ هَكَذَا»  

[Machine] We used to gather around the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he was compiling the Qur'an. He said, "Glad tidings to Syria." It was asked, "Why, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Because the angels of the Most Merciful are spreading their wings over it." This narration was reported by Jarir ibn Hazim from Yahya ibn Ayyub, on the condition of Bukhari and Muslim.  

كُنَّا حَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نُؤَلِّفُ الْقُرْآنَ إِذْ قَالَ «طُوبَى لِلشَّامِ» فَقِيلَ لَهُ وَلِمَ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّ مَلَائِكَةَ الرَّحْمَنِ بَاسِطَةٌ أَجْنِحَتَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ» رَوَاهُ جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَعلى شرط البخاري ومسلم  

"We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ collecting the Qur'an on pieces of cloth, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Tuba is for Ash-Sham.' So we said: 'Why is that O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Because the angels of Ar-Rahman spread their wings over it.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3954)   

كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نُؤَلِّفُ الْقُرْآنَ مِنَ الرِّقَاعِ إِذْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «طُوبَى لِلشَّامِ» فَقُلْنَا لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ ذَاكَ؟ فَقَالَ «لِأَنَّ مَلَائِكَةَ الرَّحْمَنِ بَاسِطَةٌ أَجْنِحَتَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ»  

[Machine] He said, "I entered the mosque on Friday and the Prophet ﷺ was giving a sermon, so I sat close to Ubay ibn Ka'b. The Prophet ﷺ recited Surat Bara'ah (Chapter 9 of the Quran). So I asked Ubay, "When was this Surah revealed?" He frowned and did not respond to me. He said, "I have memorized this narration and found it in my book, and I searched for it in the codices but could not find it with its full length. The narration is authenticated through its chain of transmission."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ فَجَلَسْتُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ «فَقَرَأَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سُورَةَ بَرَاءَةَ» فَقُلْتُ لِأُبَيٍّ مَتَى نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةُ؟ قَالَ فَتَجَهَّمَنِي وَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْنِي قَالَ «وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ هَكَذَا وَجَدْتُهُ فِي كِتَابِي وَطَلَبْتُهُ فِي الْمَسَانِيدِ فَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ بِطُولِهِ الْحَدِيثُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ صَحِيحٌ» صحيح  

[Machine] Which of the two readings do you see as the last? They said, the reading of Zaid. He said, no. "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to present the Quran to Gabriel every year, and when it was the year in which he passed away, he presented it to him twice. So, the last one was the reading of Ibn Mas'ud."  

أَيُّ الْقِرَاءَتَيْنِ تَرَوْنَ كَانَ آخِرَ الْقِرَاءَةِ؟ قَالُوا قِرَاءَةُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ لَا «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْرِضُ الْقُرْآنَ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ عَلَى جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ السَّنَةُ الَّتِي قُبِضَ فِيهَا عَرَضَهُ عَلَيْهِ عَرْضَتَيْنِ فَكَانَتْ قِرَاءَةُ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ آخِرَهُنَّ»  

[Machine] "The Quran was presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in multiple recitations, and they say, 'Indeed, our recitation is the final version.'"  

«عُرِضَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَرَضَاتٍ» فَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّ قِرَاءَتِنَا هَذِهِ هِيَ الْعَرْضَةُ الْأَخِيرَةُ  

[Machine] Ibn Abbas said, "Ubayy recited to the Prophet ﷺ ." Al-Shafi'i said, "I recited to Ismail ibn Qustantin, and he used to say, 'The Quran is a name, not a proper noun. It was not taken from recitation. If it were taken from recitation, then every recitation would be Quran. However, it is a name for the Quran, like the Torah and the Gospel, they are proper nouns for the scripture, while the Quran is not.'"  

وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «قَرَأَ أُبَيٌّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ» قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَقَرَأْتُ عَلَى إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ قُسْطَنْطِينَ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ «الْقُرَانُ اسْمٌ وَلَيْسَ بِمَهْمُوزٍ وَلَمْ يُؤْخَذْ مِنْ قَرَأْتُ وَلَوْ أُخِذَ مِنْ قَرَأْتُ كَانَ كُلُّ مَا قُرِئَ قُرْآنًا وَلَكِنَّهُ اسْمٌ لِلْقُرَانِ مِثْلُ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ يُهْمَزُ قَرَأْتُ وَلَا يُهْمَزُ الْقُرَانُ»  

[Machine] An Arab man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Prophet of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "I am not a prophet of Allah, but I am the Messenger of Allah."  

جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيءَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَسْتُ بِنَبِيءِ اللَّهِ وَلَكِنِّي نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Bakr, Umar, and the Caliphs did not engage in backbiting. However, backbiting is an innovation that emerged after them. I heard Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Ya'qub al-Shaybani al-Hafiz saying that he heard Abu Zakariya Yahya ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya saying that he heard Ahmad ibn Hanbal saying: 'I do not narrate the hadith of Musa ibn Ubaydah al-Rabathi and the hadith of Abdur Rahman ibn Ziyad al-Afriqi.'"  

«مَا هَمَزَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَلَا عُمَرُ وَلَا الْخُلَفَاءُ وَإِنَّمَا الْهَمْزُ بِدْعَةٌ ابْتَدَعُوهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ» سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ يَعْقُوبَ الشَّيْبَانِيَّ الْحَافِظَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ حَنْبَلٍ يَقُولُ «لَا أَكْتُبُ حَدِيثَ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ الرَّبَذِيِّ وَلَا حَدِيثَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ الْأَفْرِيقِيِّ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "The Qur'an was revealed with distinction, like the appearance of a bird" [Surah Al-Imran 49]. "Excuses, warnings, and the two shells, and behold, to Him belong creation and command" [Surah Al-A'raf 54], and similar to this in the Qur'an. This is an authentic narration and it was not rejected. No, by God, it is not weak. Al-Awfi is weak and Bukair is not an authority, and this hadith is denounced.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ بِالتَّفْخِيمِ {كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ} [آل عمران 49] عُذْرًا وَنُذْرًا وَالصَّدَفَيْنِ وَ {أَلَا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالْأَمْرُ} [الأعراف 54] وَأَشْبَاهُ هَذَا فِي الْقُرْآنِ «صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» لا والله العوفي على ضعفه وبكار ليس بعمدة والحديث واه منكر  

[Machine] Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to start his recitation with the verses: 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment.'"  

عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقَطِّعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ {بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ} »  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to recite his prayers verse by verse, starting with "Alhamdulillahi Rabbil 'alamin" (Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds) from Surah Al-Fatiha (Chapter 1, Verse 2). Then he would pause and recite "Ar-Rahmanir-Rahim" (The Most Merciful, The Ever-Merciful) from Surah Al-Fatiha (Chapter 1, Verse 1). Then he would pause again. Ibn Abi Mulayka said, "Umm Salamah used to recite it as 'Maliki yawmid-din' (The Master of the Day of Judgment)."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْطَعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ آيَةَ آيَةً {الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ} [الفاتحة 2] ثُمَّ يَقِفُ {الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} [الفاتحة 1] ثُمَّ يَقِفُ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ «وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ تَقْرَؤُهَا (مَلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ) »  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to recite "The Sovereign of the Day of Recompense".  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ (مَلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ)  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the verse: "Guide us to the Straight Path" [Al-Fatiha 6], with the letter "S" (Saad).  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَرَأَ {اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ} [الفاتحة 6] بِالصَّادِ  

[Machine] He prayed with the Prophet ﷺ when he said {not the path of those who have received Your anger or those who have gone astray}. He said "Ameen" quietly. The judge said "ghayri" [not] by lowering the sound of the "raa" because in the recitation of the people of Makkah, it is {ghayra} [not].  

أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ قَالَ {غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ} [الفاتحة 7] قَالَ «آمِينَ» يَخْفِضُ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ قَالَ الْقَاضِي {غَيْرِ} [الفاتحة 7] بِخَفْضِ الرَّاءِ فَإِنَّ فِي قِرَاءَةِ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ {غَيْرَ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ} [الفاتحة 7]  

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ with a companion of mine but we did not find him. Aisha then fed us dates and porridge. Then, the Prophet ﷺ came, dragging his foot and tying his lower garment. He asked, "Did you feed them anything?" We said, "Yes." He said, "While we were like that, a shepherd came by with a sheep. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Did she give birth?" He said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What did she deliver?" He replied, "A healthy lamb." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Slaughter a sheep instead of her." Then, he turned to me and said, "Do not think that we slaughtered her only for your sake. We have a hundred sheep, and we do not want them to increase. So, whenever a shepherd is burdened with the sheep, we slaughter a sheep in its place." Ibn Juraij said, "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Do not think' and did not say, 'Do not assume.'" This was narrated by Sufyan Ath-Thawri from Abu Hashim from Asim bin Laqit, but Adh-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary.  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَا وَصَاحِبٌ لِي فَلَمْ نَجِدْهُ فَأَطْعَمَتْنَا عَائِشَةُ تَمْرًا وَعَصِيدَةً وَقَالَ فَلَمْ نَلْبَثْ أَنْ جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَتَقَلَّعُ وَيَتَكَفَّأُ قَالَ «أَطَعِمْتُمَا شَيْئًا؟» قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ جَاءَ الرَّاعِي وَعَلَى يَدِهِ سَخْلَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَوَلَدَتْ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «مَاذَا؟» قَالَ بَهْمَةٌ قَالَ «اذْبَحْ مَكَانَهَا شَاةً» ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ «لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ أَنَّا إِنَّمَا ذَبَحْنَاهَا مِنْ أَجَلِكَ لَنَا غَنَمٌ مِائَةٌ لَا نُحِبُّ أَنْ تَزِيدَ فَإِذَا حَمَلَ الرَّاعِي ذَبَحْنَا مَكَانَهَا شَاةً» قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ» وَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَا يَحْسَبَنَّ رَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ لَقِيطٍ بِهَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةِ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not assume (or think) but he did not say, 'do not assume.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ» وَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَا يَحْسَبَنَّ  

[Machine] "From no soul does it accept any intercession, and no compensation can be taken from it" [2:48]. Ubayy ibn Ka'b said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited to me: "No soul will be recompensed for any other, nor will intercession be accepted from it." [2:48] with تَاءْ (ta) and "no compensation can be taken from it" [2:48] with يَاء (ya).  

عَنْ نَفْسٍ شَيْئًا} [البقرة 48] بِالتَّاءِ (وَلَا تُقْبَلُ مِنْهَا شَفَاعَةٌ وَلَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهَا عَدْلٌ) قَالَ أُبَيٌّ أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ {لَا تَجْزِي نَفْسٌ عَنْ نَفْسٍ شَيْئًا} [البقرة 48] بِالتَّاءِ (وَلَا تُقْبَلُ مِنْهَا شَفَاعَةٌ) بِالتَّاءِ {وَلَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهَا عَدْلٌ} [البقرة 48] بِالْيَاءِ  

"We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey when some of his Companions fell behind. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his voice reciting these two Ayat: "O mankind! Have Taqwa of your Lord! Verily the earthquake of the hour is a terrible thing..." up to His saying: but Allah's torment is severe (21:1 & 2)." When his Companions heard that, they hastened to catch up with him, since they knew that he had something to say. He ﷺ said: 'Do you know what Day this is? That is the Day when Adam will be called. His Lord will call him and say: O Adam, send forth those who are to be sent to the Fire. He will say: O Lord! How many are to be sent to the Fire? He will say: From every one-thousand there are nine-hundred and ninety-nine for the Fire and one for Paradise. So the people despaired as if they would not smile again. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw the state of his Companions, he said: 'Strive hard and receive the good news. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, you will be counted with two creations who are immense in numbers; Ya'juj and Ma'juj, and those who have died among the progeny of Adam and the progeny of Iblis.'" He said: "So some of the people's grief went away, and he ﷺ said: 'Strive hard and receive the good news. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad! Among mankind, you are but like the mole on the flank of a camel, or a mark on the foreleg of a beast.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3169)   

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي مَسِيرٍ وَقَدْ تَفَاوَتَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ فِي السَّيْرِ فَرَفَعَ بِهَاتَيْنِ الْآيَتَيْنِ صَوْتَهُ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّ زَلْزَلَةَ السَّاعَةِ شَيْءٌ عَظِيمٌ يَوْمَ تَرَوْنَهَا تَذْهَلُ كُلُّ مُرْضِعَةٍ عَمَّا أَرْضَعَتْ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمْلٍ حَمْلَهَا وَتَرَى النَّاسَ سُكَارَى وَمَا هُمْ بِسُكَارَى وَلَكِنَّ عَذَابَ اللَّهِ شَدِيدٌ} [الحج 2] فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ أَصْحَابُهُ حَثُّوا الْمَطِيَّ وَعَرَفُوا أَنَّهُ عِنْدَهُ قَوْلٌ يَقُولُهُ فَقَالَ «أَتَدْرُونَ أَيَّ يَوْمٍ ذَاكُمْ؟» قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ يَوْمٌ يُنَادِي آدَمُ رَبَّهُ فَيَقُولُ يَا آدَمُ ابْعَثْ بَعْثَ النَّارِ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ وَمَا بَعْثُ النَّارِ؟ قَالَ مِنْ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ تِسْعُ مِائَةٍ وَتِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ فِي النَّارِ وَوَاحِدٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَأَبْلَسَ أَصْحَابُهُ فَمَا أَوْضَحُوا بِضَاحِكَةٍ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الَّذِي بِأَصْحَابِهِ قَالَ «اعْلَمُوا وَبَشِّرُوا فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّكُمْ لَمَعَ خَلِيقَتَيْنِ مَا كَانَتَا مَعَ شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا كَثَّرَتَاهُ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ وَمَنْ هَلَكَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ وَبَنِي إِبْلِيسَ» فَسُرِّيَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ بَعْضُ الَّذِي يَجِدُونَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اعْلَمُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ مَا أَنْتُمْ فِي النَّاسِ إِلَّا كَالشَّامَةِ فِي جَنْبِ الْبَعِيرِ أَوْ كَالرَّقْمَةِ فِي ذِرَاعِ الدَّابَّةِ» حَدِيثُ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتُوَائِيِّ حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ فَإِنَّ أَكْثَرَ أَئِمَّتِنَا مِنَ الْمُتَقَدِّمِينَ عَلَى أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ قَدْ سَمِعَ مِنَ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ فَأَمَّا إِذَا اخْتَلَفَ هِشَامٌ وَالْحَكَمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ فَالْقَوْلُ قَوْلُ هِشَامٍ الحكم بن عبد الملك واه  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited {How can we give life to these bones} [Al-Baqarah 259] with a "Za" sound.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَرَأَ {كَيْفَ نُنْشِزُهَا} [البقرة 259] بِالزَّايِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made me read the verse "It is I who give (all) sustenance, Lord of power, steadfast (for ever). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3993)   

أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي أَنَا الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

"A man from Banu Sulaim who had some sheep with him, passed by some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He gave Salam to them and they said: 'He did not give Salam except to protect himself.' So they attacked him, killed him, and took his sheep. They went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with them, and Allah, Most High, revealed: O you who believe! When you go in the cause of Allah, verify and say not to anyone who greets you: "You are not a believer (4:94)." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3030)   

مَرَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ عَلَى نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ غَنَمٌ لَهُ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالُوا مَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا لِيَتَعَوَّذَ مِنْكُمْ فَعَمَدُوا إِلَيْهِ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَأَخَذُوا غَنَمَهُ فَأَتَوْا بِهَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَتَبَيَّنُوا وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ أَلْقَى إِلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًا} [النساء 94] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {كَذَلِكَ كُنْتُمْ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَمَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَتَبَيَّنُوا} [النساء 94]  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited, "And it is not for a prophet to be dishonest" [Quran 3:161] with the vowel kasrah on the letter ya.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَرَأَ {وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَغُلَّ} [آل عمران 161] بِفَتْحِ الْيَاءِ
