Hadith #474
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّزَّالَ بْنَ سَبْرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا يَقْرَأُ آيَةً عَلَى غَيْرِ مَا أَقْرَ
أَنِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى ذَهَبْتُ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ كِلَاكُمَا مُحْسِنٌ لَا تَخْتَلِفُوا أَكْبَرُ عِلْمِي وَإِلَّا فَمِسْعَرٌ حَدَّثَنِي بِهَا فَإِنَّ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ فَهَلَكُوا

'Affan narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us, 'Abd al-Malik ibn Maysarah informed me, he said: I heard al-Nazzal ibn Sabrah say: I heard 'Abdullah saying: I heard a man reciting a verse differently from how I had heard it from the Prophet ﷺ. I took him by the hand and brought him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Both of you are doing well.' Shu'bah said: I think he said: 'Do not differ, for those before you differed and were destroyed.'
