حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَقْرَأَنِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَى حَرْفٍ فَرَاجَعْتُهُ، فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَسْتَزِيدُهُ وَيَزِيدُنِي حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ ‏"‏.

ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, জিব্রীল (আঃ) আমাকে একভাবে কুরআন শিক্ষা দিয়েছেন। এরপর আমি তাঁকে অন্যভাবে পাঠ করার জন্য অনুরোধ করতে লাগলাম এবং বার বার অন্যভাবে পাঠ করার জন্য ক্রমাগত অনুরোধ করতে থাকলে তিনি আমার জন্য তিলাওয়াতের পদ্ধতি বাড়িয়ে যেতে লাগলেন। অবশেষে তিনি সাত আঞ্চলিক ভাষায় তিলাওয়াত করে সমাপ্ত করলেন। [৩২১৯] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৪৬২০, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
