Musnad Ahmad 832 (Book 5, Hadith 262) #34488
Resolving Disagreements with Recitation

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a disagreement between Abdullah bin Mas'ood and Zirr bin Hubaish concerning the number of verses in a surah of the Quran. When they went to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for clarification, 'Ali (RA) advised them to recite it as they were taught.

It was narrated that Zirr bin Hubaish said: ’Abdullah bin Mas'ood said: We differed concerning a soorah of the Qur'an and said; (It is) thirty-five verses or thirty-six. We went to the Messenger of Allah and found 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) conversing with him. We said: We have differed concerning the recitation. The face of the Messenger of Allah turned red and 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah is telling you to recite it as you were taught.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ، سَعِيدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجَرْمِيُّ قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ الْكُوفَةِ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأُمَوِيُّ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ، ح قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ و حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ، قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ تَمَارَيْنَا فِي سُورَةٍ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ فَقُلْنَا خَمْسٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ آيَةً سِتٌّ وَثَلَاثُونَ آيَةً قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَوَجَدْنَا عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يُنَاجِيهِ فَقُلْنَا إِنَّا اخْتَلَفْنَا فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ فَاحْمَرَّ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَقْرَءُوا كَمَا عُلِّمْتُمْ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about resolving disagreements through recitation. It was narrated that Zirr bin Hubaish said that he and Abdullah bin Mas'ood disagreed on how many verses were in a surah of the Quran. They decided to go to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for clarification, where they found 'Ali (RA). He advised them to recite it as they were taught, which made the face of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) turn red. This shows us that we should always try our best to resolve disagreements through reciting what we have been taught instead of arguing or debating over it. We should also remember that when we are faced with such situations, we should seek guidance from those who are more knowledgeable than us so that our disputes can be resolved peacefully and amicably.
