حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ (١) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَسَدِيُّ لُوَيْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ الْأَفْطَسُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ " أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي أَضَاةِ بَنِي غِفَارٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، إِنَّ اللهَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى حَرْفٍ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَزِيدُهُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ سَبْعَةَ أَحْرُفٍ " (٢)، •
