Hadith 22:198

Al-Thaqafi narrated to us, from Shu'ayb, who said: Abu al-'Aliyah used to teach people the Qur'an. When he wanted to correct [someone], he would not say, "It is not such and such," but rather he would say, "Recite such and such verse." I mentioned this to Ibrahim, and he said: "I think your companion has heard that whoever disbelieves in one letter of it has disbelieved in all of it."

حدثنا الثقفي عن شعيب قال كان أبو العالية يقرئ الناس القرآن فإذا أراد أن يغير لم يقل ليس كذا وكذا ولكنه يقول اقرأ آية كذا فذكرته لإبراهيم فقال أظن صاحبكم قد سمع أنه من كفر بحرف منه فقد كفر به كله
