Umar bin Khattab said: I heard Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam reciting Surah al-Furqan in a style different from that in which I used to recite it, and in which Allahs Messenger ﷺ had taught me to recite it. I was about to dispute with him (on this style) but I delayed till he had finished that (the recitation). Then I caught hold of his cloak and brought him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, I heard this man reciting Surah al-Furqan in a style different from the one in which you taught me to recite. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ told (me) to leave him alone and asked him to recite. He then recited in the style in which I beard him recite it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: Thus was it sent down. He then told me to recite and I recited it, and he said: Thus was it sent down. The Quran was sent down in seven dialects. So recite what seems easy there from.
