Collected by Ibn Ḥibbān

ذِكْرُ الْعِلَّةِ الَّتِي مِنْ أَجْلِهَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَمَا جَهِلْتُمْ مِنْهُ، فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى عَالِمِهِ»

ibnhibban:75 – ʿUmar b. Muḥammad al-Hamdānī > Isḥāq b. Sūwayd al-Ramlī > Ismāʿīl b. Abū Ūways > Akhī > Sulaymān b. Bilāl > Muḥammad b. ʿAjlān > Abū Isḥāq al-Hamdānī > Abū al-Aḥwaṣ > Ibn Masʿūd

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Quran was revealed with seven different readings, and for each verse there is an apparent meaning and an implied meaning."

ابن حبّان:٧٥ – أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ لِكُلِّ آيَةٍ مِنْهَا ظَهْرٌ وَبَطْنٌ»
