"كَانَ الكتَابُ ينزِلُ (*) أولُ مِنْ باب واحدٍ عَلى حرفٍ واحدٍ، ونزلَ القرآنُ مِن سبعة أحرف: زاجرٌ وَآمرٌ، وحلالٌ وحرامٌ، ومحكمٌ ومتشابهٌ وأمَثالًا. فأحِلُّوا حلالهُ، وحرِّمُوا حرَامَهُ، وافْعَلُوا مَا أُمِرْتُمْ بِهِ، وانْتَهُوا عَمَّا نُهِيتُم عَنْهُ، واعْتَبِرُوا بِأمْثَالِه، واعْمَلُوا بِمحْكمِهِ، وآمِنُوا بِمتَشَابِههِ، وقُولُوا: آمَنَّا بِهِ، كُلٌّ منْ عِنْدِ رَبِّنَا".  

[Machine] In His saying, Glorified and Exalted be He, "And set forth in detail the story of Sad" [Surah Saba, verse 11]. He said, "Do not strike the nails and widen, causing them to loosen, and do not thicken the nails and narrow the throat, causing it to break, but make it an appropriate measure." This is a strange statement in interpretation, and Abd al-Wahhab did not mention it due to its weakness.  

فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَقَدِّرْ فِي السَّرْدِ} [سبأ 11] قَالَ «لَا تَدُقَّ الْمَسَامِيرَ وَتُوَسِّعْ فَتَسْلُسَ وَلَا تُغْلِظِ الْمَسَامِيرَ وَتُضَيِّقِ الْحِلَقَ فَتَنْفَصِمُ وَاجْعَلْهُ قَدْرًا» هَذَا حَرْفٌ غَرِيبٌ فِي التَّفْسِيرِ وَعَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ عبد الوهاب لم يخرجاه لضعفه  

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

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْرُفٍ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "The Quran was revealed with three different letters."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْرُفٍ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ who said, "The Quran was revealed in seven modes."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The Quran was revealed in seven different ways."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ»  

"أُنْزِلَ القرآنُ على ثلاثةِ 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] "Read upon me, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Surah Ar-Rahman. So I went out to the mosque in the evening, and a group of people came and sat around me. I said to a man, 'Read upon me.' But when he started reciting, he recited in a way that I could not understand. So I asked him, 'Who taught you how to recite?' He said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me.' So we went until we stood in front of the Prophet ﷺ , and I said, 'We differ in our recitation.' The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed when he heard this, and he found it concerning. He said, 'The people before you were destroyed because of their differences.' Then he commanded Ali, saying, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ orders you to recite as you have been taught. Indeed, the destruction of those before you was due to their differences.' So we left, and each one of us recited a letter that his companion could not recite."  

أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُورَةَ الرَّحْمَنِ فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ عَشِيَّةً فَجَلَسَ إِلَيَّ رَهْطٌ فَقُلْتُ لِرَجُلٍ اقْرَأْ عَلَيَّ فَإِذَا هُوَ يَقْرَأُ أَحْرُفًا لَا أَقْرَؤُهَا فَقُلْتُ مَنْ أَقْرَأَكَ؟ فَقَالَ أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى وَقَفْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ اخْتَلَفْنَا فِي قِرَاءَتِنَا فَإِذَا وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِيهِ تَغَيُّرٌ وَوَجَدَ فِي نَفْسِهِ حِينَ ذَكَرْتُ الِاخْتِلَافَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ بِالِاخْتِلَافِ» فَأَمَرَ عَلِيًّا فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ كَمَا عُلِّمَ فَإِنَّمَا أَهْلَكَ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمُ الِاخْتِلَافُ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْنَا وَكُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا يَقْرَأُ حَرْفًا لَا يَقْرَأُ صَاحِبُهُ  

[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  

"كَانَ أُبَىٌّ يَقْرأ {إِذْ جَعَلَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الْحَمِيَّةَ حَمِيَّةَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ}، ولو حميتم كما حموا لفسد المسجد الحرام {فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ} فَبَلغَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرَ فَاشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْه فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ، فَدَعَا نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِيهِم زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابتٍ فَقَالَ: مَنْ يقْرَأُ مِنْكُمْ سَورَةَ الْفَتْحِ، فَقَرَأَ زَيْدٌ عَلَى قِرَائَتِنَا الْيَوْمَ، فَغَلَظَ لَهُ عُمَرُ، فَقَالَ أُبَىٌّ: أأَتَكَلَّمُ؟ قَالَ: تَكَلَّمْ فَقَالَ: لَقَد عَلِمْتُ أنِّى كُنْتُ أَدْخُلُ عَلَى النَّبِىِّ ﷺ وَيُقْرِئُنِى وَأَنْتَ بِالْبَابِ، فَإِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ أَنْ أُقْرِئَ النَّاسَ عَلَى مَا أَقْرَأَنِى أَقْرَأتُ، وَإلاَّ لَمْ أُقْرِئ حَرْفًا مَا حَيِيْتُ قَالَ: بَلْ أَقْرِئِ النَّاسَ".  

[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] "Abu Al-Aswad Al-Dili and Jubair bin Hayyah Al-Thaqafi were with Ibn Ziyad. They mentioned this verse, 'Indeed, there has been a division among you' (Quran, Al-An'am 94), until they put their swords down. Aslam bin Zur'ah said, 'I heard Abu Musa reciting this verse, 'Indeed, there has been a division among you' (Quran, Al-An'am 94). One of them said, 'Let the first person who enters between us be the mediator.' Yahya bin Yamar entered and they asked him. Yahya said, 'Indeed, there has been a division among you, which needs to be resolved.' Yahya also said, 'Abu Musa is not deceitful, and I do not accuse him of such.'"  

كَانَ عِنْدَ ابْنِ زِيَادٍ أَبُو الْأَسْوَدِ الدِّيلِيِّ وَجُبَيْرُ بْنُ حَيَّةَ الثَّقَفِيُّ قَالَ فَذَكَرُوا هَذَا الْحَرْفَ {لَقَدْ تَقَطَّعَ بَيْنَكُمْ} [الأنعام 94] حَتَّى وَضَعُوا الْأَخْطَارَ فَقَالَ أَسْلَمُ بْنُ زُرْعَةَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُوسَى يَقْرَأُ {لَقَدْ تَقَطَّعَ بَيْنَكُمْ} [الأنعام 94] فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْنَا فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَعْمَرَ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَقَالَ يَحْيَى لَقَدْ تَقَطَّعُ بَيْنَكُمْ رَفْعًا فَقَالَ يَحْيَى إِنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى لَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْغَرَرِ وَلَا أَتَّهِمُهُ  

[Machine] I asked Aisha, the mother of the believers, how the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) used to recite this verse: "And those who give what they give." She said, "I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) recite it as 'yutoonan'."  

قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ هَذَا الْحَرْفَ {وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَا آتَوْا} [المؤمنون 60] قَالَتْ أَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْرَؤُهَا {يُؤْتُونَ} [المؤمنون 60]  

[Machine] How do you ask about something while you have the Book of Allah, which contains the latest news from Allah? Allah has informed you that they have written a book with their own hands, distorted and changed it, and they claim that it is from Allah. And they have sold it for a small price. But the Book of Allah is pure and has not been altered. By Allah, none of them will ask you about what has been revealed to you.  

كَيْفَ تُسْأَلُونَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ وَعِنْدَكُمْ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ أَحْدَثُ الْأَخْبَارِ بِاللَّهِ وَقَدْ أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَتَبُوا كِتَابًا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَبَدَّلُوا وَحَرَّفُوا وَقَالُوا هَذَا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ وَاشْتَرُوا بِهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا فَعِنْدَكُمْ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ مَحْضٌ لَمْ يُشَبْ فَوَاللَّهِ لَا يَسْأَلُكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ عَنِ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ  

[Machine] "When the chapter (Surah) of Tabat Yada Abi Lahab was revealed, the narration was mentioned in the same exact way, letter by letter. And the saying of Allah Almighty: 'And as for the favor of your Lord, then talk about it' (Ad-Duha 11), I did not find in it a letter attributed to it and no saying from the companions. So, I mentioned in it two letters from the followers. Al-Hakim said: Its chain of narration is authentic, except that I found a flaw in it."  

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ تَبَّتْ يَدَا أَبِي لَهَبٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ مِثْلَهُ حَرْفًا بِحَرْفٍ وَقَوْلُ اللَّهِ ﷻ {وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ} [الضحى 11] لَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهِ حَرْفًا مُسْنَدًا وَلَا قَوْلًا لِلصَّحَابَةِ فَذَكَرْتُ فِيهِ حَرْفَيْنِ لِلتَّابِعِينَقال الحاكم إسناده صحيح إلا أني وجدت له علة  

[Machine] Imam of Imams Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Dhuhli passed a verdict and did not exclude Muhammad ibn Isma'il and Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj from this translation, letter by letter, and mentioned that Al-Hasan did not hear from Imran ibn Husayn.  

فَقَدْ حَكَمَ إِمَامُ الْأَئِمَّةِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الذُّهْلِيُّ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجْ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَمُسْلِمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ فِي هَذِهِ التَّرْجَمَةِ حَرْفًا وَذَكَرَا أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ»  

[Machine] "I witnessed a gathering of Ibn Abbas that if all of Quraysh boasted about it, it would be a pride for them. I saw people gathering until the path became narrow for them, and no one could enter or leave. So I entered and informed him that it seemed as if they were at his door. He said to me, 'Bring me ablution water.' So he performed ablution, sat down, and told me to go out and say to them, 'Whoever wants to ask about the Quran, its letters, and what he desires from it, let him enter.' So I went out and announced, and they entered until the house and room were filled. He answered their questions and provided them with additional knowledge. Then he said, 'You are all brothers.' They left, and he told me to go out and say, 'Whoever wants to ask about what is permissible and forbidden, and jurisprudence, let him enter.' So I went out and announced, and they entered until the house and room were filled. He answered their questions and provided them with additional knowledge. Then he said, 'You are all brothers.' They left, and he told me to go out and say, 'Whoever wants to ask about obligations and similar matters, let him enter.' So I went out and announced, and they entered until the house and room were filled. He answered their questions and provided them with additional knowledge. Then he said, 'You are all brothers.' They left, and he told me to go out and say, 'Whoever wants to ask about the Arabic language, poetry, and strange speech, let him enter.' So I went out and announced, and they entered until the house and room were filled. He answered their questions and provided them with additional knowledge. Abu Salih said, 'If all of Quraysh were to boast about this, it would be a pride for them.' He said, 'I have not seen anyone like him among the people.'" (The narration ends here according to Al-Dhahabi)  

لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ مِنَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَجْلِسًا لَوْ أَنَّ جَمِيعَ قُرَيْشٍ فَخَرَتْ بِهِ لَكَانَ لَهَا فَخْرًا لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ اجْتَمَعُوا حَتَّى ضَاقَ بِهِمُ الطَّرِيقُ فَمَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَجِيءَ وَلَا يَذْهَبَ قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ كَأَنَّهُمْ عَلَى بَابِهِ فَقَالَ لِي «ضَعْ لِي وَضُوءًا» قَالَ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَجَلَسَ وَقَالَ لِي اخْرُجْ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ عَنِ الْقُرْآنِ وَحُرُوفِهِ وَمَا أَرَادَ مِنْهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَآذَنْتُهُمْ فَدَخَلُوا حَتَّى مَلَئُوا الْبَيْتَ وَالْحُجْرَةَ قَالَ فَمَا سَأَلُوهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَخْبَرَهُمْ عَنْهُ وَزَادَهُمْ مِثْلَ مَا سَأَلُوا عَنْهُ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِخْوَانُكُمْ» قَالَ فَخَرَجُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي «اخْرُجَ فَقُلْ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ عَنِ الْحَلَالِ وَالْحَرَامِ وَالْفِقْهِ فَلْيَدْخُلْ» فَخَرَجْتُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ قَالَ فَدَخَلُوا حَتَّى مَلَئُوا الْبَيْتَ وَالْحُجْرَةَ فَمَا سَأَلُوهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَخْبَرَهُمْ بِهِ وَزَادَهُمْ مِثْلَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِخْوَانُكُمْ» قَالَ فَخَرَجُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي اخْرُجْ فَقُلْ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ عَنِ الْفَرَائِضِ وَمَا أَشْبَهَهَا فَلْيَدْخُلْ قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَآذَنْتُهُمْ فَدَخَلُوا حَتَّى مَلَئُوا الْبَيْتَ وَالْحُجْرَةَ فَمَا سَأَلُوهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَخْبَرَهُمْ بِهِ وَزَادَهُمْ مِثْلَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِخْوَانُكُمْ» قَالَ فَخَرَجُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي اخْرُجْ فَقُلْ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ عَنِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ وَالشِّعْرِ وَالْغَرِيبِ مِنَ الْكَلَامِ فَلْيَدْخُلْ قَالَ فَدَخَلُوا حَتَّى مَلَئُوا الْبَيْتَ وَالْحُجْرَةَ فَمَا سَأَلُوهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَخْبَرَهُمْ بِهِ وَزَادَهُمْ مِثْلَهُ قَالَ أَبُو صَالِحٍ فَلَوْ أَنَّ قُرَيْشًا كُلَّهَا فَخَرَتْ بِذَلِكَ لَكَانَ فَخْرًا لَهَا قَالَ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ هَذَا لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِسكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met Gabriel ﷺ , and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "I have been sent to a nation from which there are young boys, young girls, elderly men, and dying old men." Gabriel ﷺ said, "Command them to recite the Quran with seven letters."  

لَقِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جِبْرِيلَ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي بُعِثْتُ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ أُمَيَّةٍ مِنْهُمُ الْغُلَامُ وَالْجَارِيَةُ وَالْعَجُوزُ وَالشَّيْخُ الْفَانِي» قَالَ «مُرْهُمْ فَلْيَقْرَؤُوا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ»  

[Machine] Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to instruct us to recite the Noble Qur'an as we recited it, and he said, "Verily, it was revealed with three dialects, so do not differ therein and do not dispute about it, for indeed it is blessed. So recite it like you have been taught."  

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ نَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ الْكَرِيمَ كَمَا أَقْرَأَنَاهُ وَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ أُنْزِلَ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْرُفٍ لَا تَخْتَلِفُوا فِيهِ وَلَا تُحَاجُّوا فِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ مُبَارَكٌ فَاقْرَأُوهُ كَالَّذِي أُقْرِئْتُمُوهُ»  

"أُنْزِلَ القرآنُ على ثَلاثِة أَحْرُفٍ، فلا تَخْتلِفوا فيه، ولا تَحَاجُّوا فيه، فإِنَّه مُبَارَكٌ كُلُّه فاقرءوه كالَّذى أُقْرِئتُموه".  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us while we were reading the Quran and reciting it to one another. He said, "Praise be to Allah, the Book of Allah is one, but the recitation styles differ among you. The black and the red (styles of recitation) should recite the Quran, recite the Quran, recite the Quran, before a people come who will recite it and establish its letters, similar to how an arrow is shot piercing through its target. They will rush to gain its reward and not delay it."  

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيُقْرِئُهُ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا فَقَالَ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كِتَابُ اللهِ وَاحِدٌ فِيكُمُ الْأَسْوَدُ وَالْأَحْمَرُ اقْرَأُوا الْقُرْآنَ اقْرَأُوا الْقُرْآنَ اقْرَأُوا الْقُرْآنَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَقْوَامٌ يَقْرَأُونَ الْقُرْآنَ يُقِيمُونَ حُرُوفَهُ كَمَا يُقَامُ السَّهْمُ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ يَتَعَجَّلُونَ أَجْرَهُ وَلَا يَتَأَجَّلُونَهُ»  

"الْحمدُ لله كتَابُ اللهِ واحدٌ وفيكم الأحْمرُ وفيكم الأبْيَضُ وفيكم الأسْوَدُ اقْرأُوه قَبْلَ أنْ يَقْرَأَهُ أقْوامٌ يُقِيمُونَ حُروفَه كَمَا يَقومُ السَّهْمُ لا يجاوزُ تَراقِيَهم، يَتعجَّلُونَ أجْرَهُ ولا يَتَأجلونَهُ".  

[Machine] "He used to recite this verse: 'You are going away arrogantly and abandoning it.' He said, 'The polytheists used to abandon the Messenger of Allah in their poetry.'"  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ هَذَا الْحَرْفَ {مُسْتَكْبِرِينَ بِهِ سَامِرًا تَهْجُرُونَ} قَالَ «كَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ يَهْجُرونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ فِي شِعْرِهِمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Lord, the teacher of Abi Jad's letters, who studies the stars, he has no creator with Allah on the Day of Resurrection."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «رَبَّ مُعَلِّمِ حُرُوفِ أَبِي جَادٍ دَارِسٍ فِي النُّجُومِ لَيْسَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ خَلَاقٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

"رُبَّ معلِّمٍ حروفِ أَبى جادَ، دارسٌ في النُّجوم لَيْس لَه عِنْد اللَّهِ خَلَاقٌ يوْم الْقِيامةِ".  

[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.  

أَنَّهُ بَعَثَ إِلَى إِخْوَانِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَجْتَمِعُوا فَيُوَدِّعَهُمْ فَاجْتَمَعُوا فِي ظُلَّةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَتَاهُمْ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ لَا يَتَنَازَعُوا فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَأَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّهُ مَنْ جَحَدَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْهُ فَقَدْ جَحَدَهُ كُلَّهُ وَأَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَتَنَازَعُونَ فِيهِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَقْرَءُونَ عَلَيْهِ فَيُخْبِرُهُمْ كُلَّهُمْ أَنَّهُ مُحْسِنٌ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا تَخْتَلِفُ بِهِ الْأَلْسِنَةُ وَلَا تَخْلَقُ عَنْ كَثْرَةِ الرَّدِّ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ شَرِيعَةَ الْإِسْلَامِ فِيهِ وَاحِدَةٌ؛ حُدُودُهَا وَفَرَائِضُهَا وَلَوْ كَانَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الْحَرْفَيْنِ يَأْمُرُ بِشَيْءٍ يَنْهَى عَنْهُ الْآخَرُ وَتَخْتَلِفُ فِيهِ الْفَرَائِضُ وَالْحُدُودُ» وَذَكَرَ كَلِمَةً وَلَوْ أَنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ أَحَدًا أَعْلَمُ مِنِّي بِمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ تَبْلُغُهُ الْإِبِلُ لَأَتَيْتُهُ حَتَّى أُؤلِّفَ عَلِمَهُ إِلَى عِلْمِي وَإِنِّي قَرَأْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً وَكَانَ يُعْرَضُ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنُ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ وَكُنْتُ أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ فَيُخْبِرُنِي أَنِّي مُحْسِنٌ حَتَّى كَانَ عَامُ قُبِضَ فِيهِ فَعُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَا أَدَعُهَا رَغْبَةً عَنْهَا  

[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."  

أَنَّهُ أَتَاهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامَ وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ وَأَنْ لَا يَخْتَلِفُوا فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَلَا يَتَنَازَعُوا فِيهِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَخْتَلِفُ وَلَا يَتَسَاقَطُ وَلَا يَنْفُذُ لِكَثْرَةِ الرَّدِّ أَلَا تَرَوْنَ أَنَّ شَرِيعَةَ الْإِسْلَامِ فِيهِ وَاحِدَةٌ حُدُودَهَا وَقِرَاءَتَهَا وَأَمْرَ اللهِ فِيهَا وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنَ الْحَرْفَيْنِ يَأْمُرُ بِشَيْءٍ يَنْهَى عَنْهُ الْآخَرُ كَانَ ذَلِكَ الِاخْتِلَافَ وَلَكِنَّهُ جَامِعُ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أَصْبَحَ فِيكُمْ مِنَ الْفِقْهِ وَالْعِلْمِ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا فِي النَّاسِ وَلَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا يُبَلِّغَنِيهِ الْإِبِلُ أَعْلَمَ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ مِنِّي لَطَلَبْتُهُ؛ حَتَّى أُزَادَ عِلْمَهُ إِلَى عِلْمِي قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُعْرَضُ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنُ كُلَّ عَامٍ مَرَّةً فَعُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ عَامَ قُبِضَ مَرَّتَيْنِ كُنْتُ إِذَا قَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنِّي مُحْسِنٌ فَمَنْ قَرَأَ عَلَى قِرَاءَتِي فَلَا يَدَعْهَا رَغْبَةً عَنْهَا؛ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ جَحَدَ بِحَرْفٍ مِنْهُ جَحَدَ بِهِ كُلِّهِ  

"أنَّهُ أتَاهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ فَقَرأ عَلَيْهِم السَّلامَ، وَأَمَرهُم بِتَقْوَى الله وَأنْ لَا يَخْتلِفُوا في الْقُرآنِ، وَلَا يَتَنَازَعُوا فِيهِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَخْتَلِفُ وَلَا يَنْسَى وَلَا يَنْفذُ لِكَثْرةِ الرَّد أَفَلَا تَرَوْنَ أَنَّ شَرِيعَةَ الإِسْلَامِ فِيهِ وَاحِدة حُدُودَهَا وَفَرَائِصَهَا وَأَمَرَ الله فِيهَا وَلَوْ كَانَ شَىْءٌ مِنَ الْحُرْفَيينَ يَأتِى بِشَىْءٍ يَغْنِى عَنْهُ الآخَر كَانَ ذَلِكَ الاخْتِلَافُ وَلَكِنَّه جَامِعٌ لِذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ وَإنِّى لأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أَصْبَحَ فِيكُم الْيَوْمَ مِنَ الْفِقْهِ، وَالْعِلْمِ مِنْ خَيْر مَا فِي النَّاسِ، وَلَوْ أعْلَمُ أحَدًا يَبْلغنيه الإبِل هُوَ أعْلَمُ بِما أُنْزِل عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ لَقَصَدْتُهُ حَتَّى أزْدَاد عِلْمًا إِلَى عِلْمِى عَلِمْتُ أنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ كَانَ يُعْرَضُ عَلَيْه الْقُرآنُ كُلَّ عَامٍ مَرَّةً فُعُرِضَ عَامَ تُوفِّىَ مَرَّتَيْن فَكُنْتُ إِذَا قَرَأتُ عَلَيْهِ أَخْبَرنِى أَنِّى مُحْسِنٌ فَمَنْ قَرَأَ عَلَى قِرَاءَتِى فَلَا يَدَعْهَا رَغْبَةً عَنْهَا وَمَنْ قَرَأَ عَلىَّ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْحُرُوفِ، فَلَا يَدَعْهُ رَغْبَةَ عَنْهُ فَإنَّ مَنْ جَحَدَ بِحَرْفٍ مِنْهُ جَحَدَ بِهِ كُلِّهِ".  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The Quran was revealed in seven dialects. So whoever recites it in one of these dialects should not change it for another out of desire."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ فَمَنْ قَرَأَ عَلَى حَرْفٍ مِنْهَا فَلَا يَتَحَوَّلْ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُ»  

"أُنْزِلَ القرآنُ على سبعةِ أَحرفٍ فمن قرأَ على حرفٍ منها فلا يتحوَّلْ إِلى غيره رغبةً عنه".  

[Machine] We debated about the reading of this verse {وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ} or ['tata'loon']? So I went to Ibn Mas'ood to ask him about that. While I was with him, a man came to him and said, "O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, a man has committed adultery with his wife, but then they repented and resolved it." So Abdullah recited this verse {وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَعْفُو عَنِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ}.  

امْتَرَيْنَا فِي قِرَاءَةِ هَذَا الْحَرْفِ {وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ} أَوْ تَفْعَلُونَ؟ فَأَتَيْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ لِأَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا عِنْدَهُ إِذْ أَتَاهُ آتٍ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ رَجُلٌ أَصَابَ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ فُجُورًا ثُمَّ تَابَا وَأَصْلَحَا فَتَلَا عَبْدُ اللهِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَعْفُو عَنِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ}  

[Machine] In the words of Ibn Mas'ood, "Proceed to the remembrance of Allah, which is like His saying: 'Indeed, your efforts are diverse.'”  

فِي حَرْفِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَامْضُوا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللهِ وَهِي كَقَوْلِهِ {إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّى}  

[Machine] "To every letter there is a limit, and to every limit there is a beginning."  

«لِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ حَدٌّ وَلِكُلِّ حَدٍّ مُطَّلَعٌ»  

[Machine] "Indeed, the Quran does not contain a letter except that it has a limit, and for every limit, there is a beginning."  

«إِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ لَيْسَ مِنْهُ حَرْفٌ إِلَّا لَهُ حَدٌّ وَلِكُلِّ حَدٍّ مُطَّلَعٌ»  

[Machine] I read the Quran to Abdullah and he only corrected me on two letters. I said, "And all shall come to it humbled." He said, "And all shall come to it humbled." And I said, "Until when the messengers give up hope and think that they have been denied." He said, "And they think that they have been denied."  

قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ الْقُرْآنَ فَلَمْ يَأْخُذْ عَلَيَّ إِلَّا حَرْفَيْنِ قُلْتُ {وَكُلٌّ أَتَوْهُ دَاخِرِينَ} قَالَ {وَكُلٌّ آتَوْهُ دَاخِرِينَ} وَقُلْتُ {حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَيْأَسَ الرُّسُلُ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِبُوا} قَالَ {وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كَذَبُوا}  

[Machine] "The Quran was revealed through seven gates, upon seven letters, all of them are a sound of "sh" (pronounced as "shaf" and "kaf")."  

«أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ مِنْ سَبْعَةِ أَبْوَابٍ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ كُلُّهَا شَافٍ كَافٍ»  

[Machine] "The books descended from one gate, and the Quran descended from seven gates, upon seven characters/letters."  

«نَزَلَتِ الْكُتُبُ مِنْ بَابٍ وَاحِدٍ وَنَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ مِنْ سَبْعَةِ أَبْوَابٍ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ»  

"أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَقرأ القرآن على سبعةِ أَحرُفٍ، كلّ شافٍ كافٍ" .  

"أُنْزِل القرآنُ على سبعةِ أَحرفٍ كلها شافٍ كاف".  

"أُنْزِلَ القرآنُ من سبعةِ أَبواب على سبعةِ أَحرفٍ كلُّها شاف كاف".  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ read this letter, "Indeed, this individual did a deed that is not righteous."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «قَرَأَ هَذَا الْحَرْفَ (إِنَّهُ عَمِلَ غَيْرَ صَالِحٍ) »  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ recited this verse: "Indeed, he has done a non-righteous deed."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «قَرَأَ هَذَا الْحَرْفَ (إِنَّهُ عَمِلَ غَيْرَ صَالِحٍ) »  

[Machine] He used to recite this verse (Will we really be resurrected)  

أَنَّهُ «كَانَ يَقْرَأُ هَذَا الْحَرْفَ (أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَاخِرَةً) »  

[Machine] Two men from the Ansar read a surah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had recited to them, and they used to recite it in prayer. One night, they stood up to pray and were not able to recite it correctly. They went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the next morning and told him about it. He said, "Indeed, it is from what has been abrogated and forgotten, so let it be." Al-Zuhri used to recite it as "ma nansakh min ayatin aw nunsiha" with a light kasrah on the noon.  

قَرَأَ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ سُورَةً أَقْرَأَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَا يَقْرَآنِ بِهِمَا فَقَامَا ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ يُصَلِّيَانِ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرَا مِنْهَا عَلَى حَرْفٍ فَأَصْبَحَا غَادِيَيْنِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَا لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهَا مِمَّا نُسِخَ وَأُنْسِيَ فَالْهَوْا عَنْهَا» فَكَانَ الزُّهْرِيُّ يَقْرَؤُهَا {مَا نَنْسَخْ مِنْ آيَةٍ أَوْ نُنْسِهَا} بِضَمِّ النُّونِ خَفِيفَةً  

[Machine] "On the authority of Ya'la bin 'Ata' al-Ta'ifi, who narrated from Jabir bin Yazid bin al-Aswad, who narrated from his father, he said: We prayed Fajr prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He turned around and saw two men behind the people, so he called them and they approached him trembling. Their clothes were disheveled. He asked them, 'What prevented you from praying with the people?' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we prayed on the way.' He said, 'Do not do so when any one of you has already prayed during his journey and then catches up with the prayer led by the imam. Rather, pray it with him, for it is a voluntary (nafl) prayer.'"  

عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ الطَّائِفِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْفَجْرَ فَانْحَرَفَ فَرَأَى رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ النَّاسِ فَدَعَى بِهِمَا فَجِيءَ بِهِمَا يَرْتَعِدُ فَرَائِصُهُمَا فَقَالَ مَا مَنَعَكُمَا أَنْ تُصَلِّيَا مَعَ النَّاسِ فَقَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّيْنَا فِي الرِّحَالِ قَالَ فَلَا تَفْعَلَا إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فِي رَحْلِهِ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ فَلْيُصَلِّهَا مَعَهُ فَإِنَّهَا نَافِلَةٌ  

The Prophet ﷺ once passed by two graves, and those two persons (in the graves) were being tortured. He said, "They are being tortured not for a great thing (to avoid). One of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine, while the other went about committing slander (to make enmity between friends). He then took a green leaf of a date-palm tree split it into two pieces and fixed one on each grave. The people said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Why have you done so?" He replied, "I hope that their punishment may be lessened till they (the leaf) become dry." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1361)   

مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِقَبْرَيْنِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُمَا لَيُعَذَّبَانِ وَمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي كَبِيرٍ أَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَكَانَ لَا يَسْتَتِرُ مِنْ بَوْلِهِ وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَكَانَ يَمْشِي بِالنَّمِيمَةِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ جَرِيدَةً رَطْبَةً فَشَقَّهَا نِصْفَيْنِ ثُمَّ غَرَزَ فِي كُلِّ قَبْرٍ وَاحِدَةً» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لِمَ صَنَعْتَ هَذَا قَالَ «لَعَلَّهُمَا أَنْ يُخَفَّفَ عَنْهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَيْبَسَا» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بَعْضُ حُرُوفِ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ كَمَا أَرَدْتُ  

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ married Maimuna when it was prohibited, and she handed her matter over to Abbas and he married her to him." Abu Abdur-Rahman told us that this chain of narration is good, and the statement "she handed her matter over to Abbas and he married her to him" is a rejected saying. It is possible that this word is from some of those who narrated this hadith and was included in the narration."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «نَكَحَ مَيْمُونَةَ وَهُوَ حَرَامٌ جَعَلَتْ أَمْرَهَا إِلَى الْعَبَّاسِ فَأَنْكَحَهَا إِيَّاهُ» قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ جَيِّدٌ وَقَوْلُهُ جَعَلَتْ أَمْرَهَا إِلَى الْعَبَّاسِ فَأَنْكَحَهَا إِيَّاهُ كَلَامٌ مُنْكَرٌ وَيُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا الْحَرْفُ مِنْ بَعْضِ مَنْ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَأُدْرِجَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ  

Who amongst people are dearest to you? He said: A'isha. He then said: Who amongst men? He said: Her father, and I said: And who next? He said: Umar. He then enumerated some other men. (Using translation from Muslim 2384)   

اسْتَعْمَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى جَيْشِ ذَاتِ السَّلَاسِلِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ «عَائِشَةُ» قُلْتُ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ؟ قَالَ «أَبُوهَا» قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ «ثم عُمَرُ» فَعَدَّ رِجَالًا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بَعْضُ حُرُوفِ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ لَمْ تَصِحَّ  

[Machine] "When the verse {Say, 'He is able to send upon you punishment from above you'} [Al-An'am 65] was revealed, the Prophet ﷺ said, 'I seek refuge in Your face.' {Or from beneath your feet} [Al-An'am 65], the Prophet ﷺ said, 'I seek refuge in Your face.' {Or He could make evident to you some of His enemies} [Al-An'am 65], the Prophet ﷺ said, 'This is easier.' Abu 'Abd al-Rahman said, 'Some of the letters in {Or He could make evident to you} [Al-An'am 65] are not correct from Muhammad.'"  

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {قُلْ هُوَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابًا مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ} [الأنعام 65] قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ» {أَوْ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ} [الأنعام 65] قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ» {أَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعًا} [الأنعام 65] قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَذَا أَهْوَنُ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بَعْضُ حُرُوفِ {أَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ} [الأنعام 65] لَمْ تَصِحَّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ
