Sahih al-Bukhari 5041 (Book 66, Hadith 65) #4824
Reciting the Quran in Different Ways

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of reciting the Quran in different ways, as it was revealed to be recited in several different ways.

Narrated 'Umar bin Khattab: I heard Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam reciting Surat-al-Furqan during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger ﷺ, and I listened to his recitation and noticed that he recited it in several ways which Allah's Messenger ﷺ had not taught me. So I was on the point of attacking him in the prayer, but I waited till he finished his prayer, and then I seized him by the collar and said, "Who taught you this Surah which I have heard you reciting?" He replied, "Allah's Messenger ﷺ taught it to me". I said, "You are telling a lie; By Allah! Allah's Messenger ﷺ taught me (in a different way) this very Surah which I have heard you reciting". So I took him, leading him to Allah's Messenger ﷺ and said, "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! I heard this person reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way that you did not teach me, and you have taught me Surat-al-Furqan". The Prophet said, "O Hisham, recite!" So he recited in the same way as I heard him recite it before. On that Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, "It was revealed to be recited in this way". Then Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, "Recite, O 'Umar!" So I recited it as he had taught me. Allah's Messenger ﷺ then said, "It was revealed to be recited in this way". Allah" Apostle added, "The Qur'an has been revealed to be recited in several different ways, so recite of it that which is easier for you".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ، عَنْ حَدِيثِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ، وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدٍ الْقَارِيِّ، أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ، يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاسْتَمَعْتُ لِقِرَاءَتِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ يَقْرَؤُهَا عَلَى حُرُوفٍ كَثِيرَةٍ لَمْ يُقْرِئْنِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكِدْتُ أُسَاوِرُهُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَانْتَظَرْتُهُ حَتَّى سَلَّمَ فَلَبَبْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ أَقْرَأَكَ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ الَّتِي سَمِعْتُكَ تَقْرَأُ قَالَ أَقْرَأَنِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ كَذَبْتَ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَهُوَ أَقْرَأَنِي هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ الَّتِي سَمِعْتُكَ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَقُودُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ هَذَا يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ عَلَى حُرُوفٍ لَمْ تُقْرِئْنِيهَا وَإِنَّكَ أَقْرَأْتَنِي سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا هِشَامُ اقْرَأْهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَرَأَهَا الْقِرَاءَةَ الَّتِي سَمِعْتُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏"‏ هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ ‏"‏‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ اقْرَأْ يَا عُمَرُ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَرَأْتُهَا الَّتِي أَقْرَأَنِيهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏"‏ هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ ‏"‏‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏"‏ إِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ أُنْزِلَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of reciting the Quran in different ways. It is narrated by 'Umar bin Khattab and Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam that they heard each other recite Surat-al-Furqan differently than how Allah's Messenger taught them. Umar was on the point of attacking him during prayer but waited until he finished his prayer before confronting him. When asked who taught him this way, he replied that Allah's Messenger did so Umar took him to Allah's Messenger who confirmed that it was revealed to be recited this way. He then instructed both Umar and Hisham to recite it as they were taught, emphasizing that there are several different ways for one to recite the Qur'an. This hadith teaches us that we should not judge others for their differences in religious practices or beliefs, but rather respect them and accept their differences as long as they do not contradict Islamic teachings or values.
