حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ زِرٍّ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَقِيتُ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عِنْدَ أَحْجَارِ الْمِرَاءِ فَقَالَ: يَا جِبْرِيلُ، إِنِّي أُرْسِلْتُ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ أُمِّيَّةٍ الرَّجُلُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ، وَالْغُلَامُ وَالْجَارِيَةُ، وَالشَّيْخُ الْعَاسِي (٢) الَّذِي لَمْ يَقْرَأْ، ، كِتَابًا قَطُّ، قَالَ: إِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ نَزَلَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ " (١)،

English translation
It is narrated from Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Once, at a place called "Ahjar al-Mara", I met Jibreel (peace be upon him), so I said to him, "O Jibreel! I have been sent to an unlettered nation in which there are men and women, boys and girls, and very old people who do not know how to read anything." So he said, "The Noble Qur'an has been revealed upon seven letters."
