حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ، وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدٍ الْقَارِيِّ، أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا عُمَرَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ مَرَرْتُ بِهِشَامِ بْنِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَمَعْتُ قِرَاءَتَهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ يَقْرَأُ عَلَى حُرُوفٍ كَثِيرَةٍ لَمْ يُقْرِئْنِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكِدْتُ أَنْ أُسَاوِرَهُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَنَظَرْتُ حَتَّى سَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ لَبَّبْتُهُ بِرِدَائِهِ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ أَقْرَأَكَ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ الَّتِي تَقْرَؤُهَا قَالَ أَقْرَأَنِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ كَذَبْتَ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَهُوَ أَقْرَأَنِي هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ الَّتِي تَقْرَؤُهَا قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَقُودُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ هَذَا يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ عَلَى حُرُوفٍ لَمْ تُقْرِئْنِيهَا وَأَنْتَ أَقْرَأْتَنِي سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْسِلْهُ يَا عُمَرُ اقْرَأْ يَا هِشَامُ فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ الْقِرَاءَةَ الَّتِي سَمِعْتُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اقْرَأْ يَا عُمَرُ فَقَرَأْتُ الْقِرَاءَةَ الَّتِي أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ أُنْزِلَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ فَاقْرَءُوا مِنْهُ مَا تَيَسَّرَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ حَدَّثَنِي عُرْوَةُ عَنْ حَدِيثِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدٍ الْقَارِيِّ أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ فِي حَيَاةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَمَعْتُ لِقِرَاءَتِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ يَقْرَأُ عَلَى حُرُوفٍ كَثِيرَةٍ لَمْ يُقْرِئْنِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكِدْتُ أُسَاوِرُهُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَنَظَرْتُ حَتَّى سَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ.
‘Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us; Ma‘mar informed us, from al-Zuhri, from ‘Urwah, from al-Miswar ibn Makhramah and ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘Abd al-Qari, who both heard ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, say: I passed by Hisham ibn Hakim ibn Hizam while he was reciting Surat al-Furqan during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. I listened to his recitation and found him reciting in many modes that the Messenger of Allah had not taught me. I was on the verge of seizing him during the prayer, but I waited until he gave the salutation. When he had finished, I clasped his garment and said, ‘Who taught you this surah that you are reciting?’ He said, ‘The Messenger of Allah taught it to me.’ I said to him, ‘You have lied, by Allah! The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, taught me this very surah that you are reciting.’ I then led him to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said, ‘Messenger of Allah, I heard this man reciting Surat al-Furqan in modes you did not teach me, though you taught me Surat al-Furqan.’ The Prophet said, ‘Release him, O ‘Umar. Recite, O Hisham.’ He recited the recitation I had heard, and the Prophet said, ‘Thus it was revealed.’ Then he said, ‘Recite, O ‘Umar.’ I recited the recitation the Messenger of Allah had taught me, and he said, ‘Thus it was revealed.’ Then the Messenger of Allah said, ‘The Qur’an was revealed in seven ahruf, so recite whatever of it is easy for you.’ Al-Hakam ibn Nafi‘ narrated to us; Shu‘ayb informed us, from al-Zuhri, who said: ‘Urwah related to me, from the report of al-Miswar ibn Makhramah and ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘Abd al-Qari, that they both heard ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, say: I heard Hisham ibn Hakim ibn Hizam reciting Surat al-Furqan during the lifetime of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. I listened to his recitation and found him reciting in many modes that the Messenger of Allah had not taught me. I was on the verge of seizing him during the prayer, but I waited until he gave the salutation. When he had finished, he mentioned a report similar in meaning.’
