حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ عِنْدَ أَضَاَةِ بَنِي غِفَارٍ، قَالَ: فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُقْرِئَ (١) أُمَّتَكَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى حَرْفٍ، قَالَ: "أَسْأَلُ اللهَ مُعَافَاتَهُ وَمَغْفِرَتَهُ، وَإِنَّ أُمَّتِي لَا تُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ " ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ (٢) الثَّانِيَةَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُقْرِئَ (١) أُمَّتَكَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى حَرْفَيْنِ، فَقَالَ: "أَسْأَلُ اللهَ مُعَافَاتَهُ، ، وَمَغْفِرَتَهُ، إِنَّ أُمَّتِي لَا تُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ " ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ (١) الثَّالِثَةَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُقْرِئَ (٢) أُمَّتَكَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى (٣) ثلاثة أَحْرُفٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "أَسْأَلُ اللهَ مُعَافَاتَهُ وَمَغْفِرَتَهُ، فَإِنَّ أُمَّتِي لَا تُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ " ثُمَّ جَاءَ الرَّابِعَةَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهُ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُقْرِئَ أُمَّتَكَ الْقُرْآَنَ عَلَى (٣) سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ، فَأَيُّمَا حَرْفٍ قَرَءُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَدْ أَصَابُوا (٤)، •
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila (may Allah be pleased with him) on the authority of Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was near a well of Banu Ghifar when Jibreel (peace be upon him) appeared and said, "Your Lord commands you to teach your Ummah the Holy Qur'an on one letter." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "I seek pardon and forgiveness from Allah, for my Ummah does not have the strength for this." So Jibreel (peace be upon him) came again with the message and permission to recite on two letters. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave the same reply again. The third time, the same happened. The fourth time, Jibreel (peace be upon him) came with the message to recite on seven letters and said, "Whichever letter they recite accordingly, they will do correctly."
