حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سُقَيْرٍ الْعَبْدِيِّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ صُرَدٍ،، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا يَقْرَأُ، فَقُلْتُ: مَنْ أَقْرَأَكَ؟ قَالَ: رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: انْطَلِقْ إِلَيْهِ، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: اسْتَقْرِئْ هَذَا، فَقَالَ: "اقْرَأْ " (٢) فَقَرَأَ، فَقَالَ: "أَحْسَنْتَ " فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: أَوَلَمْ تُقْرِئْنِي كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ قَالَ: "بَلَى، وَأَنْتَ قَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ " فَقُلْتُ بِيَدَيَّ: قَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ مَرَّتَيْنِ، قَالَ: فَضَرَبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ فِي صَدْرِي، ثُمَّ قَالَ: "اللهُمَّ أَذْهِبْ عَنْ أُبَيٍّ الشَّكَّ " فَفِضْتُ عَرَقًا، وَامْتَلَأَ جَوْفِي فَرَقًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "يَا أُبَيُّ، إِنَّ مَلَكَيْنِ أَتَيَانِي، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا: اقْرَأْ عَلَى حَرْفٍ، فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: زِدْهُ، فَقُلْتُ: زِدْنِي، قَالَ: اقْرَأْ عَلَى حَرْفَيْنِ، فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: زِدْهُ، فَقُلْتُ: زِدْنِي، قَالَ: اقْرَأْ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةٍ، فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: زِدْهُ، فَقُلْتُ: زِدْنِي، قَالَ: اقْرَأْ عَلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ، قَالَ الْآخَرُ: زِدْهُ، قُلْتُ: زِدْنِي، قَالَ: اقْرَأْ عَلَى خَمْسَةِ أَحْرُفٍ، قَالَ الْآخَرُ: زِدْهُ، قُلْتُ: زِدْنِي، قَالَ: اقْرَأْ عَلَى سِتَّةٍ، قَالَ الْآخَرُ: زِدْهُ، قَالَ: اقْرَأْ عَلَى، ، سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ، فَالْقُرْآنُ أُنْزِلَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ " (١)، •

It is narrated from Sulaiman bin Surad (may Allah be pleased with him) with reference to Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard a man reciting the Qur'an. I asked him, "Who taught you this verse?" He replied, "The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) taught me this verse." I took him to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Did you not teach me such and such verse in this way?" The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "Why not?" I said, "This person claims that you taught him this same verse in another way?" The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) struck his hand on my chest and prayed, "O Allah, remove doubt from Ubayy," after which all doubts were removed and I never had such doubts again. Then the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "Jibreel (peace be upon him) and Mika'il (peace be upon him) came to me. Jibreel (peace be upon him) said, 'Recite the Qur'an on one letter.' Mika'il (peace be upon him) said, 'Request an increase from them.' Jibreel (peace be upon him) said, 'Recite it on two letters.' Mika'il (peace be upon him) again said, 'Request an increase from them,' until it reached seven letters." And he said, "Each of them is sufficient and complete."
