The Remainder of the Hadith of ‘Amr ibn al-‘As (RA) from the Prophet (SAW)

بقية حديث عمرو بن العاص (1) عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم

Hadith 551:21

Abu Salamah al-Khuza'i narrated to us, he said: 'Abdullah ibn Ja'far ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Miswar ibn Makhramah informed us, he said: Yazid ibn 'Abdullah ibn Usamah ibn al-Had informed me, from Busr ibn Sa'id, from Abu Qays, the freed slave of 'Amr ibn al-'As, who said: 'Amr ibn al-'As heard a man reciting a verse from the Qur'an, so he said: "Who taught you to recite it?" He said: "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace." He said: "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, taught me to recite it differently than this." So they both went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. One of them said: "O Messenger of Allah, such and such a verse," and he recited it. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "It was revealed thus." The other said: "O Messenger of Allah," and he recited it to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said: "Is it not thus, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "It was revealed thus." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, then said: "Indeed, this Qur'an was revealed in seven modes (ahruf), so whichever of them you recite, you have acted correctly. Do not dispute regarding it, for disputing regarding it is disbelief," or "a sign of disbelief."

حدثنا أبو سلمة الخزاعي، قال: أخبرنا عبد الله بن جعفر بن عبد الرحمن بن المسور بن مخرمة، قال: أخبرني يزيد بن عبد الله بن أسامة بن الهاد، عن بسر بن سعيد، عن أبي قيس، مولى عمرو بن العاص، قال: سمع عمرو بن العاص، رجلا يقرأ آية من القرآن، فقال: من أقرأكها؟ قال: رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال: فقد أقرأنيها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على غير هذا، فذهبا إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال أحدهما: يا رسول الله آية كذا وكذا ثم قرأها، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " هكذا أنزلت " فقال الآخر: يا رسول الله فقرأها على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وقال: أليس هكذا يا رسول الله قال: " هكذا أنزلت " فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " إن هذا القرآن أنزل على سبعة أحرف، فأي ذلك قرأتم فقد أصبتم ، ولا تماروا فيه، فإن المراء فيه كفر " أو " آية الكفر "
