مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3981
It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) taught me a soorah of atfi-thalatheen, one of the family of Ha-Meem, i.e., al- Ahqaf. If a soorah contained more than thirty verses, it was called ath- thalatheen (thirty). So I went to the mosque in the morning and I saw a man reciting it in a way different from the way he had taught me. i said: Who taught you it? He said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH). I said to another man: Recite it. And he recited it in a way that was different from my recitation and that of my companion. I took them to the Prophet (PBUH) and said: O Messenger of Allah, these two recite differently from me. He got angry and it could be seen from his face that he was upset, and he said: "Those who came before you were destroyed because of differences." Zirr said: There was a man with him and the man said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) is instructing you each to recite as he was taught; those who came before you were only destroyed because of differences. 'Abdullah said: I do not know whether it was some- thing that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) had told him privately or if he sensed what the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) wanted to tell people.
