The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, recited it to me, so I was about to hasten it on him, then I gave him time until he left, then I wrapped him in his cloak. So I brought him The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. So I said, O Messenger of God, I heard this man reciting Surat Al-Furqan in a different way than you had read it to me. Then the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Send him to recite.” So I recited the recitation that I heard him reciting.
