Sahih al-Bukhari 4991 (Book 66, Hadith 13) #4772
Learning the Quran in Different Ways

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was taught the Quran by the angel Gabriel in seven different ways.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas: Allah's Messenger said, "Gabriel recited the Qur'an to me in one way. Then I requested him (to read it in another way), and continued asking him to recite it in other ways, and he recited it in several ways till he ultimately recited it in seven different ways".
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَقْرَأَنِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَى حَرْفٍ فَرَاجَعْتُهُ، فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَسْتَزِيدُهُ وَيَزِيدُنِي حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ

This hadith tells us about how the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was taught to recite and understand the Qur'an. It is narrated that when he received revelation from Allah through Angel Gabriel, he asked for it to be recited in different ways so that he could understand it better. In this way, Angel Gabriel recited it seven times until the Prophet understood its meaning completely. This hadith teaches us that we should strive to learn and understand our religion properly and not just take things at face value without understanding their deeper meanings. We should also seek knowledge from reliable sources and ask questions if we don't understand something fully.
