English translation
2419. Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb Hishām bin Ḥakīm bin Hizām: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ I heard Hishām bin Ḥakīm bin Hizām reciting Sūrat Al-Furqān in a way different to that of mine. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had taught it to me (in a different way). So, I was about to quarrel with him [during the Ṣalāt (prayer)] but I waited till he finished, then I tied his garment round his neck and seized him by it and brought him to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and said, "I have heard him reciting Sūrat Al-Furqān in a way different to the way you taught it to me." The Prophet ﷺ ordered me to release him and asked Hishām to recite it. When he recited it, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "It was revealed in this way." He then asked me to recite it. When I recited it, he said, "It was revealed in this way. The Qur'an has been revealed in seven different ways, so recite it in the way that is easier for you.”
