Ubayy ibn Ka’b narrated:
“
The Prophet ﷺ was at the pond of [the tribe of] Bani Ghifar when Jibril, peace be upon him, came to him and said: “Indeed, Allah commands you to teach your nation to recite the Quran in one mode of recitation”. The Prophet ﷺ replied: “I ask Allah for His protection and His forgiveness, for my nation cannot bear that”. Then Jibril came to him a second time and said: “Indeed, Allah commands you to teach your nation to recite the Quran in two modes of recitation”. He replied: “I ask Allah for His protection and His forgiveness, for my nation cannot bear that”. Then he came to him a third time and said: “Indeed, Allah commands you to teach your nation to recite the Quran in three modes of recitation”. He replied: “I ask Allah for His protection and His forgiveness, for my nation cannot bear that”. Then he came to him a fourth time and said: “Indeed, Allah commands you to teach your nation to recite the Quran in seven modes of recitation; whichever mode of recitation they recite in, they will have recited correctly”.”
