[Machine] He sent to his brothers from the people of Kufa and ordered them to gather and bid them farewell. They gathered in the shade of the mosque, and he came to them and greeted them. He ordered them not to dispute in the Quran, and informed them that whoever denies anything from it denies it all. He informed them that they used to dispute about it in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and that they used to recite it to him. He informed them all that he was virtuous, and that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say, "The tongues do not differ in it, nor does it change due to a lot of repetition. This is because the sharia of Islam is one; its limits and obligations. And even if one of the two letters commands something, and the other forbids it, the obligations and limits differ in it." He mentioned a word, that if I knew that anyone knew more than me what was revealed on Muhammad ﷺ , the camels would reach him. I would go to him until his knowledge is combined with mine. And I have read seventy surahs from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and the Quran was presented to him every year. And I used to recite to him and he would inform me that I was virtuous, until the year in which he passed away. It was presented to him twice, and then I recited it to him and I do not leave it willingly from it.

[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."
