[Machine] "Some people from the people of Kufa came to him, so he recited peace upon them and commanded them to have taqwa (fear of God) and not to differ in the Quran and not to dispute about it. For indeed, it does not differ, nor does it fall apart, nor does it deviate due to the abundance of its response. Don't you see that the sharia of Islam is one, with its limits, its recitation, and the command of Allah in it? Even if it had been from two letters, one would have commanded something that the other forbade, that would have been the disagreement. But it comprehends all of that. And indeed, I hope that the best among you in understanding and knowledge may be from the people. If I knew anyone who could inform me about what Allah revealed to Muhammad, ﷺ , from me, then I would have sought him until his knowledge was increased to the level of my knowledge. I have known that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to be presented with the Quran once a year. It was presented to him twice in the year he passed away. When I recited the Quran to him, he would tell me that I am doing well. So whoever recites according to my recitation, let him not leave it out of desire. For indeed, whoever denies a letter from it, he denies it in its entirety."
