أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرِ بْنُ نُفَيْلٍ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَی مَعْقِلِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عِکْرِمَةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ کَعْبٍ قَالَ أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُورَةً فَبَيْنَا أَنَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ جَالِسٌ إِذْ سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا يَقْرَؤُهَا يُخَالِفُ قِرَائَتِي فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَنْ عَلَّمَکَ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ لَا تُفَارِقْنِي حَتَّی نَأْتِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذَا خَالَفَ قِرَائَتِي فِي السُّورَةِ الَّتِي عَلَّمْتَنِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اقْرَأْ يَا أُبَيُّ فَقَرَأْتُهَا فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحْسَنْتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ اقْرَأْ فَقَرَأَ فَخَالَفَ قِرَائَتِي فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحْسَنْتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أُبَيُّ إِنَّهُ أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَی سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ کُلُّهُنَّ شَافٍ کَافٍ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ مَعْقِلُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ بِذَلِکَ الْقَوِيِّ

سنن نسائی · Hadith 945

It was narrated that Ubayy bin Ka’b said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم taught me a Sarah, and when I was sitting in the Masjid I heard a man reciting it in a way that was different from mine. I said to him: ‘Who taught you this Sarah?’ He said: ‘The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم .‘ I said: ‘Stay with me until we go to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم .‘ So we came to him and I said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, this man recites a Siirah that you taught me differently.’ The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘Recite, Ubayy.’ So I recited it, and the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said to me: ‘You have done well.’ Then he said to the man: ‘Recite.’ So he recited it and it was different to my recitation. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said to him: ‘You have done well.’ Then the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘Ubayy, the Qur’an has been revealed with seven different modes of recitation, all of which are good and sound.” Abu Abdur-Rahman said: Ma’qil bin ‘Ubaidullah is not that strong.
