حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ هَمَّامٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا يَقْرَأُ: حم الثَّلَاثِينَ يَعْنِي: الْأَحْقَافَ، فَقَرَأَ حَرْفًا، وَقَرَأَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ حَرْفًا لَمْ يَقْرَأْهُ صَاحِبُهُ، وَقَرَأْتُ أَحْرُفًا، فَلَمْ يَقْرَأْهَا صَاحِبَيَّ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ: لَا تَخْتَلِفُوا، فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِاخْتِلَافِهِمْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: انْظُرُوا أَقْرَأَكُمْ رَجُلًا، فَخُذُوا بِقِرَاءَتِهِ.

✧ I heard a man reciting Ḥā Mīm, the thirty, meaning al-Aḥqāf, and he recited one reading. Another man recited a reading his companion had not recited, and I recited readings my two companions had not recited. We went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him. He said: "Do not differ, for those before you perished only by their differing." Then he said: "Look for the best reciter among you and follow his recitation."
