==The Seven | ==The Seven Ahruf of the Qur'an== | ||
A number of hadiths narrate that the Qur'an was revealed to Muhammad in up to seven "ahruf" (literally "words" or "letters"), which has been variously interpreted by classical scholars to mean dialects, or ways of recitation, among other theories. The concept of [[Textual_History_of_the_Qur'an#Relationship_between_Qira.27at_and_Ahruf|seven ahruf]] is not to be confused with the seven (or ten) canonical qira'at, or readings of the Qur'an. | |||
{{Quote|{{Bukhari|3|41|601}}|Narrated `Umar bin Al-Khattab: | |||
I heard Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way different to that of mine. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had taught it to me (in a different way). So, I was about to quarrel with him (during the prayer) but I waited till he finished, then I tied his garment round his neck and seized him by it and brought him to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "I have heard him reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way different to the way you taught it to me." The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered me to release him and asked Hisham to recite it. When he recited it, Allah s Apostle 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."}} | |||
