Umar b. al-Khattab said:I heard Hisham b. Hakim (b. Hizam) reciting Surah al-Furqan in a different manner from my way of reciting, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had taught me to recite it. I nearly spoke sharply to him, but I delayed till he had finished. Then I caught his cloak at the neck, and I brought him to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I said: Messenger of Allah, I heard this man reciting Surah al-Furqan in a manner different from that in which you taught me to recite it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) the told him to recite it. He then recited in the manner I heard him recite. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Thus was it sent down. He then said to me: Recite, I recited (it). He then said: Thus was it sent down. He said: The Qur'an was sent down in seven modes of reading, so recite according to what comes most easily

حدثنا القعنبي، عن مالك، عن ابن شهاب، عن عروة بن الزبير، عن عبد الرحمن بن عبد القاري، قال سمعت عمر بن الخطاب، يقول سمعت هشام بن حكيم بن حزام، يقرا سورة الفرقان على غير ما اقروها وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اقرانيها فكدت ان اعجل عليه ثم امهلته حتى انصرف ثم لببته بردايه فجيت به رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقلت يا رسول الله اني سمعت هذا يقرا سورة الفرقان على غير ما اقراتنيها . فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " اقرا " . فقرا القراءة التي سمعته يقرا فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " هكذا انزلت " . ثم قال لي " اقرا " . فقرات فقال " هكذا انزلت " . ثم قال " ان هذا القران انزل على سبعة احرف فاقرءوا ما تيسر منه
