حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ، عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ

قَالَ لَقِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جِبْرِيلَ فَقَالَ: «يَا جِبْرِيلُ إِنِّي بُعِثْتُ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ أُمِّيِّينَ مِنْهُمُ الْعَجُوزُ وَالشَّيْخُ الْكَبِيرُ وَالْغُلَامُ وَالْجَارِيَةُ وَالرَّجُلُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَقْرَأْ كِتَابًا قَطُّ». قَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ أُنْزِلَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ

“The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) met Jibrail and said: ‘O Jibrail! I have been sent to an illiterate nation among whom are the elderly woman, the old man, the boy and the girl, and the man who cannot read a book at all.’ He said: ‘O Muhammad! Indeed the Qur’an was revealed in seven modes.’”

উবাই ইবনু কা'ব (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত, তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম জিবরীল (আঃ)-এর সাক্ষাৎ পেয়ে বললেনঃ হে জিবরীল! আমি একটি নিরক্ষর উন্মাতের নিকট প্রেরিত হয়েছি। এদের মধ্যে প্রবীণ, বৃদ্ধ, কিশোর ও কিশোরী আছে এবং এমন লোকও আছে যে কখনো কোন লেখাপড়াই করেনি।

তিনি বললেনঃ হে মুহাম্মাদ! কুরআন তো সাত রীতিতে অবতীর্ণ হয়েছে। হাসান সহীহঃ সহীহ আবূ দাউদ (১৩২৮)। উমার, হুজায়ফা ইবনুল ইয়ামান, আবূ হুরায়রা, আবূ আইউব আনসারী (রাযিঃ)-এর স্ত্রী উম্মু আইয়ুব, সামুরাহ, ইবনু আব্বাস ও আবূ জুহাইম ইবনুল হারিস ইবনুস সিম্মা আমর ইবনুল আস ও আবূ বাকরাহ (রাযিঃ) হতেও এ অনুচ্ছেদে হাদীস বর্ণিত আছে।

আবূ ঈসা বলেন, এ হাদীসটি হাসান সহীহ। এটি উবাই ইবনু কাব (রাযিঃ) হতে বিভিন্ন সূত্রে বর্ণিত আছে।

ابی بن کعب رضی الله عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم جبرائیل علیہ السلام سے ملے۔ آپ نے فرمایا: ”جبرائیل! میں ایک امی ( ان پڑھ ) قوم کے پاس نبی بنا کر بھیجا گیا ہوں، ان میں بوڑھی عورتیں اور بوڑھے مرد ہیں، لڑکے اور لڑکیاں ہیں، ان میں ایسے لوگ بھی ہیں جنہوں نے کبھی کوئی کتاب پڑھی ہی نہیں ہے تو جبرائیل علیہ السلام نے کہا: محمد!

قرآن سات حرفوں پر نازل ہوا ہے۔ امام ترمذی کہتے ہیں: ۱- یہ حدیث حسن صحیح ہے، ۲- اس باب میں عمر، حذیفہ بن یمان، ابوہریرہ، اور ام ایوب رضی الله عنہم ام ایوب ( ابوایوب انصاری کی بیوی ) ۔ اور سمرہ، ابن عباس، ابوجہیم بن حارث بن صمہ، عمرو بن العاص اور ابوبکرہ رضی الله عنہ سے بھی احادیث آئی ہیں، ۳- ابی بن کعب سے یہ حدیث متعدد سندوں سے مروی ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ahmad bin Mani'] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Hasan bin Musa] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syaiban] dari [Ashim] dari [Zirr bin Hubaisy] dari [Ubay bin Ka'ab] ia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menemui Jibril, lalu beliau bersabda; "Wahai Jibril, sesungguhnya aku diutus untuk ummat yang buta huruf, di antara mereka ada yang lemah, tua, renta, anak kecil lelaki dan perempuan dan orang yang sama sekali tidak bisa membaca."

Jibril berkata; "Wahai Muhammad, sesungguhnya al-Qur'an diturunkan dalam tujuh huruf." Dalam hal ini, ada hadits serupa dari Umar, Hudzaifah bin Al Yaman, Abu Hurairah, Ummu Ayyub istri Abu Ayyub Al Anshari, Samurah, Ibnu Abbas, Abu Juhaim bin Al Harits bin Ash Shimmah, 'Amru bin Al 'Ash dan Abu Bakrah.

Abu Isa berkata; Hadits ini hasan shahih. Dan diriwayatkan dari Ubay bin Ka'b melalui beberapa sanad

Übey b. Ka’b (radıyallahü anh)’den rivâyete göre, şöyle demiştir: Rasûlüllah (sallallahü aleyhi ve sellem), Cebrail ile buluştu ve ona Ey Cebrail dedi; ben Ümmî olan yani okuması yazması olmayan bir topluma peygamber gönderildim. Bunlar arasında yaşlı, kadın, erkek, erkek çocuğu, kız çocuğu hiç bir şey okumamış kimseler vardır (onlarla nasıl anlaşacağım Kur’ân-ı onlara nasıl anlatacağım dedi) de Cebrail şöyle dedi: “Ey Muhammed!

Kur’ân yedi okuyuş şekliyle indirilmiştir.” (sıkıntı etme hepsine anlatıp duyurabilirsin) (Müsned: 20259) konuda Ömer, Huzeyfe b. Yemân, Ebû Eyyûb’un karısı Ümmü Eyyûb, Semure, İbn Abbâs, Ebû Hüreyre, Ebû Cüheym b. Harîsb. Sımme, Amr b. Âs ve Ebû Bekre’den de hadis rivâyet edilmiştir. Bu hadis hasen sahihtir. Bu hadis değişik bir şekilde Übey b. Ka’b’tan da rivâyet edilmiştir

The note in this edition

وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عُمَرَ وَحُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ وَأُمِّ أَيُّوبَ وَهِيَ امْرَأَةُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ وَسَمُرَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي جُهَيْمِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الصِّمَّةِ وَعَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ وَأَبِي بَكْرَةَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ

What it means

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) met Jibrīl and told him that he had been sent to an illiterate nation who could not read. By this, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) meant that if he instructed people to recite the Qur'an according to one Harf (mode of recitation/style of Arabic language), they could not do it, because some of them pronounced words differently, others were too old to learn, others were too young to read, and others had never read anything that was written before.

So Jibrīl told the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) that the Qur'an was revealed in seven Ahruf (plural of Harf), so each person could read it in a way that was easy for them. Scholars have differed greatly on what the seven Ahruf meant. It seems (and Allah knows best) that they refer to the different styles of pronouncing the Arabic language.

The Qur'an was revealed according to those styles to make things easy at the beginning of Islam, as the Arabs were dispersed then, in disagreement, and every tribe had their own dialect. Some tribes would have had a linguistic style that other tribes did not. However, when Islam brought them together, and they were united and harmonious under Islam, each tribe knew the linguistic style of the other tribes.

‘Uthmān ibn ‘Affān (may Allah be pleased with him) got the people to recite in one Harf and burned the other copies of the Qur’an that were written in other Ahruf, so there would be no differences in the recitation of the Qur'an.
