Narrated ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb (raḍiyAllāhu ‘anhu) I heard Hishām ibn Ḥākim (raḍiyAllāhu ‘anhu) reciting Surat Al-Furqān during the lifetime of Allah’s Messenger (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam) and I listened to his recitation and noticed that he recited in several different ways which Allah’s Messenger (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam) had not taught me.
I was about to jump over him during his prayer, but I controlled my temper, and when he had completed his prayer, I put his upper garment around his neck and seized him by it.
I then asked him: “Who taught you this Sūrah which I heard you reciting?”
He replied, “Allah’s Messenger (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam) taught it to me.”
I said, “You have told a lie, for Allah’s Messenger (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam) has taught it to me in a different way from yours.”
So I dragged him to Allah’s Messenger (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam) and said (to him): “I heard this person reciting Surat Al-Furqān in a way which you haven’t taught me!”
On that Allah’s Messenger (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam) said, “Release him, (O ʿUmar!). Recite, O Hishām!”
Then he recited in the same way as I heard him reciting.
Then Allah’s Messenger (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam) said, “It was revealed in this way.”
Then he (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam) said: “Recite, O ʿUmar!”
I recited it as he had taught me.
Allah’s Messenger (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam) then said, “It was revealed in this way.
This Qurʾān has been revealed to be recited in seven different ways, so recite of it whichever (way) is easier for you (or read as much of it as may be easy for you).”
