[1906] 274 - (821) It was narrated from Ubayy bin Ka'b that the Prophet ﷺ was at the pond of Banû Ghifâr and Jibrîl - peace be upon him - came to him and said: “Allâh commands you to teach the Qur'ân to your Ummah according to one mode of recitation.” He said: “I ask Allâh for His pardon and forgiveness, my Ummah is not able for that.” Then he came to him a second time and said: “Allâh commands you to teach the Qur'ân to your Ummah according to two modes of recitation.” He said: “I ask Allâh for His pardon and forgiveness, my Ummah is not able for that.” Then he came to him a third time and said: “Allâh commands you to teach the Qur'ân to your Ummah according to three modes of recitation.” He said: “I ask Allāh for His pardon and forgiveness, my Ummah is not able for that.” He came to him a fourth time and said: “Allāh commands you to teach the Qur’ān to your Ummah according to seven modes of recitation, and whichever mode of recitation they recite it in, they will be right.”
