Sahih Ibn Hibban 747

Translation

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me Surah al-Rahman. I went out to the mosque in the evening, and a group of people sat with me. I said to a man, 'Recite to me,' and he recited in ways that I did not recite. I said, 'Who taught you?' He said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me.' So we went until we stood before the Prophet ﷺ. I said, 'We have differed in our recitation.' The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ showed a change, and he felt something within himself when I mentioned the difference. He said, 'Those before you were destroyed only by differing.' Then he commanded 'Ali, who said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commands that each man among you recite as he has been taught, for those before you were destroyed only by differing.' He said, 'So we left, each man of us reciting a way that his companion did not recite.'
