حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، " أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ اقْرَأِ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى حَرْفٍ، قَالَ مِيكَائِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ: اسْتَزِدْهُ،، ، فَاسْتَزَادَهُ، قَالَ: فَاقْرَأْ عَلَى حَرْفَيْنِ، قَالَ مِيكَائِيلُ: اسْتَزِدْهُ، فَاسْتَزَادَهُ (١) حَتَّى بَلَغَ سَبْعَةَ أَحْرُفٍ، قَالَ: كُلٌّ (٢) شَافٍ كَافٍ (٣) مَا لَمْ تَخْتِمْ آيَةَ عَذَابٍ بِرَحْمَةٍ، أَوْ آيَةَ رَحْمَةٍ بِعَذَابٍ نَحْوَ قَوْلِكَ تَعَالَ وَأَقْبِلْ، وَهَلُمَّ وَاذْهَبْ، وَأَسْرِعْ وَأَعْجِلْ (٤) " (٥)،

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Jibreel and Mikaeel came to me. Jibreel said to me, "Recite the Noble Qur'an on one mode (harf)." Mikaeel said, "Request for an increase in it." Then Jibreel said, "You may recite the Noble Qur'an on seven modes (ahruf), any one of which is sufficient and satisfactory, provided that you do not change a verse of mercy into one of punishment, or a verse of punishment into one of mercy, such as 'ta'al' and 'aqbil', 'halumma' and 'idhhab', 'isra' and 'i'jil'."
