Sahih al-Bukhari 5041

Hadith text

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

Umar bin Khattab bataate hain: Maine Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam ko Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ki zindagi mein Surah Al-Furqan padhte suna, aur maine unki qiraat dhyaan se suni aur dekha ke wo ise kayi alag alag tareekon mein padh rahe the jo Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne mujhe nahi sikhaaye the. Main unpar namaz mein hi hamla karne ke qareeb tha, magar maine intezaar kiya jab tak unhone apni namaz poori nahi kar li, phir maine unka gireban pakad liya aur kaha, 'Kisne tumhein ye Surah sikhaayi jo maine tumhein padhte suna?' Unhone jawab diya, 'Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne mujhe sikhaayi.' Maine kaha, 'Tum jhoot bol rahe ho; Allah ki qasam, Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne mujhe (alag tareeke se) yahi Surah sikhaayi jo maine tumhein padhte suna.' To main unhein leke Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ke paas gaya aur kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Maine is shaks ko Surah Al-Furqan aise padhte suna jo aapne mujhe nahi sikhaaya, jabke aapne mujhe Surah Al-Furqan sikhaayi thi.' Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Aye Hisham, padho!' To unhone waisa hi padha jaisa maine unhein pehle padhte suna tha. Isper Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Ye isi tarah padhe jaane ke liye naazil hui thi.' Phir Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Padho, Aye Umar!' To maine waisa padha jaisa unhone mujhe sikhaaya tha. Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne phir farmaya, 'Ye isi tarah bhi padhe jaane ke liye naazil hui thi.' Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne aage kaha, 'Quran kayi alag alag tareekon mein padhe jaane ke liye naazil hua hai, isliye jo tumhein aasan lage usi mein padho.'
