وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هَمَّامٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي حَيْوَةُ عَنْ عُقَيْلِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ ابْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ قَالَ:
كَانَ الْكِتَابُ الْأَوَّلُ يَنْزِلُ مِنْ بَابٍ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى حَرْفٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَأُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ مِنْ سَبْعَةِ أَبْوَابٍ، عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ: زَاجِرٍ، وَآمِرٍ، وَحَلَالٍ وَحَرَامٍ، وَمُحْكَمٍ وَمُتَشَابِهٍ، وَأَمْثَالٍ، فَآمِنُوا بِحَلَالِهِ وَحَرِّمُوا حَرَامَهُ، وَافْعَلُوا مَا أُمِرْتُمْ بِهِ، وَانْتَهُوا عَمَّا نُهِيتُمْ عَنْهُ، وَاعْتَبِرُوا بِأَمْثَالِهِ، وَاعْمَلُوا بِمُحْكَمِهِ، وَآمِنُوا بِمُتَشَابِهِهِ، وَقُولُوا: آمَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّنَا

✧ The earlier scripture used to descend from one gate upon one letter, but the Qurʾān was revealed from seven gates upon seven letters: a prohibitive, a commanding, lawful and unlawful, clear and ambiguous, and parables. So believe in its lawful, deem unlawful its unlawful, do what you are commanded, refrain from what you are forbidden, take lessons from its parables, act upon its clear verses, and believe in its ambiguous ones. Say: “We believe in it; all of it is from our Lord.”
