أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ السَّبَّاكُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُحَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ
أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ بِأَضَاةِ بَنِي غِفَارَ فَقَالَ «يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُقْرِئَ أُمَّتَكَ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى حَرْفٍ وَاحِدٍ فَقَالَ ﷺ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ مُعَافَاتَهُ وَمَغْفِرَتَهُ أَوْ مَعُونَتَهُ وَمُعَافَاتَهُ سَلْ لَهُمُ التَّخْفِيفَ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يُطِيقُوا ذَلِكَ فَانْطَلَقَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُقْرِئَ أُمَّتَكَ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى حَرْفَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ مُعَافَاتَهُ وَمَغْفِرَتَهُ أَوْ مَعُونَتَهُ وَمُعَافَاتَهُ سَلْ لَهُمُ التَّخْفِيفَ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يُطِيقُوا ذَلِكَ فَانْطَلَقَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُقْرِئَ أُمَّتَكَ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْرُفٍ قَالَ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ مُعَافَاتَهُ وَمَغْفِرَتَهُ أَوْ مَعُونَتَهُ وَمُعَافَاتَهُ سَلْ لَهُمُ التَّخْفِيفَ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يُطِيقُوا ذَاكَ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنَّ تَقْرَأَ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ فَمَنْ قَرَأَ حَرْفًا مِنْهَا فَهُوَ كَمَا قَرَأَ»

✧ Gabriel ﷺ came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was at the watering place of Banū Ghifār and said, “O Muhammad, Allah commands you to teach your Ummah this Qur’an on one harf.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “I ask Allah for His pardon and forgiveness, or His help and pardon; ask for them alleviation, for they will never bear that.” He left and then returned and said, “Allah commands you to teach your Ummah this Qur’an on two harf.” He said, “I ask Allah for His pardon and forgiveness, or His help and pardon; ask for them alleviation, for they will never bear that.” He left and then returned and said, “Allah commands you to teach your Ummah this Qur’an on three ahruf.” He said, “I ask Allah for His pardon and forgiveness, or His help and pardon; ask for them alleviation, for they will never bear that.” He left and then returned and said, “Allah commands you to recite this Qur’an on seven ahruf. Whoever recites one of them has recited it correctly.”
