[Machine] It was narrated that the Prophet ﷺ was brought two men who differed in their recitation. Each one of them claimed that the Prophet ﷺ recited it in the way he did. So the Prophet ﷺ recited it in both ways and they differed. Then he said to them, "You both have done well." Ubayy said, "This caused me doubt more than I had in the time of ignorance, so I said, 'You both have done well, you both have done well.'" Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ struck my chest with his hand and said, "O Allah, remove the doubt from him." He said, "I felt sweat dripping from me as if I were seeing Allah separating it." Then he said, "I have been commanded to recite the Quran in seven different styles." [250] 10438 It was narrated that Abdur Rahman bin Muhammad bin Salam said: It was narrated to us by Ishaq, who said: It was narrated to us by Al-Awam, from Abu Ishaq, from Sulaiman bin Surad, who said: Ubb bin Ka'b came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with two men who differed in recitation similar to him.
