حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ عِنْدَ أَضَاةِ بَنِي غِفَارٍ، قَالَ: فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ [عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ] فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ [تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى] يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُقْرِئَ أُمَّتَكَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى حَرْفٍ، قَالَ: " أَسْأَلُ اللهَ مُعَافَاتَهُ وَمَغْفِرَتَهُ، وَإِنَّ أُمَّتِي لَا تُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ "، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الثَّانِيَةَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ [تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى] يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُقْرِئَ أُمَّتَكَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى حَرْفَيْنِ، فَقَالَ: " أَسْأَلُ اللهَ مُعَافَاتَهُ وَمَغْفِرَتَهُ، إِنَّ أُمَّتِي لَا تُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ "، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ الثَّالِثَةَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُقْرِئَ أُمَّتَكَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْرُفٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " أَسْأَلُ اللهَ مُعَافَاتَهُ وَمَغْفِرَتَهُ، فَإِنَّ أُمَّتِي لَا تُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ "، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ الرَّابِعَةَ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ [تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى] يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُقْرِئَ أُمَّتَكَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ، فَأَيُّمَا حَرْفٍ قَرَؤُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَدْ أَصَابُوا

✧ The Prophet ﷺ was at the water of Banu Ghifar. He said: Gabriel ﷺ came to him and said: God [Blessed and Exalted] commands you to make your community recite the Quran according to one recension. He said: "I ask God for His pardon and forgiveness, indeed my community cannot bear that." Then he came to him a second time and said: God [Blessed and Exalted] commands you to make your community recite the Quran according to two recensions. He said: "I ask God for His pardon and forgiveness, indeed my community cannot bear that." Then he came to him a third time and said: God commands you to make your community recite the Quran according to three recensions. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "I ask God for His pardon and forgiveness, for my community cannot bear that." Then he came to him a fourth time and said: God [Blessed and Exalted] commands you to make your community recite the Quran according to seven recensions; whichever recension they recite according to, they have done well.
