Sunan an-Nasai 937 (Book 11, Hadith 62) #15545
Reciting the Quran in Seven Different Modes

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teaching Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam how to recite Surat Al-Furqan, and informing him that the Quran has been revealed in seven different modes.

It was narrated that AbdurRahman bin Abdul-Qari said: "I heard Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, say: 'I heard Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam reciting Surat Al-Furqan, in a way that I had not been taught, and the Messenger of Allah had taught me. I was about to interrupt him (in his prayer), but I left him alone until he had finished. Then I grabbed him by his garment and brought him to the Messenger of Allah and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I heard this man reciting Surat Al-Furqan in a way that you did not teach me'. The Messenger of Allah said to him: 'Recite'. So he recited it in the way that I had heard him recite. Then the Messenger of Allah said: 'It was revealed like this'. Then he said to me: 'Recite'. So I recited it and he said: 'It was revealed like this. This Quran has been revealed in seven different modes, so recite as much of the Quran as may be easy for you'."
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدٍ الْقَارِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، - رضى الله عنه - يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ حَكِيمٍ، يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَا أَقْرَؤُهَا عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَقْرَأَنِيهَا فَكِدْتُ أَنْ أَعْجَلَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَمْهَلْتُهُ حَتَّى انْصَرَفَ ثُمَّ لَبَّبْتُهُ بِرِدَائِهِ فَجِئْتُ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ هَذَا يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَا أَقْرَأْتَنِيهَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ اقْرَأْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَرَأَ الْقِرَاءَةَ الَّتِي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي ‏"‏ اقْرَأْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَرَأْتُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ أُنْزِلَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ ‏{‏ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Learn how to recite and understand verses of Allah's book correctly; Be patient when hearing someone else recite incorrectly; Respect others' beliefs;

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of reciting the Quran correctly. Umar bin Al-Khattab heard Hisham bin Hakim reciting Surat Al-Furqan differently than he was taught by Prophet Muhammad. He then brought him to Prophet Muhammad who informed them that there are seven different modes of reciting the Quran. This teaches us that it is important to learn how to recite and understand the verses of Allah's book correctly, as it was revealed by Him. We should also be patient when we hear someone else reciting incorrectly, as Umar did not interrupt Hisham until he finished his prayer.
