"عن أَبى الصلت الثقفى: أن عمر بن الخطاب قرأَ هذه الآيةَ: {وَمَنْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يُضِلَّهُ يَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهُ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجًا} () بنصب الراء، وقرأهَا بعضُ مَنْ عِندَهُ من أصحابِ رسول اللَّه ﷺ حَرِجًا -بالخفض- فقال عمر (ائْتُونِى) رَجُلًا مِنْ كنَانَةَ وَاجْعَلُوهُ رَاعِيًا وَلْيَكُنْ مُدْلِجيًا، فَأَتَوْهُ بِهِ، فقال له عمرُ: يَا فَتَى! مَا الْحرَجَةُ فِيكُم؟ قال: الْحَرَجَةُ فِينَا: الشَّجَرَةُ تَكُونُ بَيْنَ الأَشْجَارِ لَا يَصِلُ إِلَيْهَا رَاعِيَةٌ وَلَا وَحْشِيَّةٌ وَلَا شَىْءٌ) فقالَ عمرُ: كَذَلِكَ الْمُنَافِقُ لَا يَصِلُ إِلَيْهِ شَىْءٌ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ".

"On the authority of Abu al-Salt al-Thaqafi: that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab recited this verse: {And whoever Allah wills to lead astray, He makes his breast tight and constricted} () with a fatha on the ra'. Some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who were with him recited it as 'harajan' with a kasra. 'Umar said: Bring me a man from Kinanah and make him a shepherd, and let him be one who travels by night. They brought him to him, and 'Umar said to him: O young man! What is the 'harajah' among you? He said: The 'harajah' among us is a tree that is among the trees, which no grazing animal nor wild animal nor anything can reach. 'Umar said: Likewise the hypocrite, nothing of good reaches him".
