حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ
عَلِيٌّ أَقْضَانَا، وَأُبَيٌّ أَقْرَؤُنَا، وَإِنَّا لَنَدَعُ كَثِيرًا مِنْ لَحْنِ أُبَيٍّ. وَأُبَيٌّ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلَا أَدَعُهُ لِشَيْءٍ، وَاللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ: مَا نَنْسَخْ مِنْ آيَةٍ أَوْ نُنْسِهَا نَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْهَا أَوْ مِثْلِهَا.

✧ ʿAlī is the best judge among us, and Ubayy is the best reciter among us, yet we leave aside much of Ubayy's variant readings. Ubayy says: 'I heard it from the Messenger of God ﷺ, so I will not abandon it for anything.' And God, Blessed and Exalted, says: 'Whatever verse We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring one better than it or like it.'
