حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ صُرَدٍ الْخُزَاعِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أُبَيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنِّي أُقْرِئْتُ الْقُرْآنَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقِيلَ لِي:‏‏‏‏ عَلَى حَرْفٍ أَوْ حَرْفَيْنِ ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي مَعِي:‏‏‏‏ قُلْ:‏‏‏‏ عَلَى حَرْفَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ عَلَى حَرْفَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقِيلَ لِي:‏‏‏‏ عَلَى حَرْفَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٍ ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي مَعِي:‏‏‏‏ قُلْ:‏‏‏‏ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى بَلَغَ سَبْعَةَ أَحْرُفٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَيْسَ مِنْهَا إِلَّا شَافٍ كَافٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنْ قُلْتَ سَمِيعًا عَلِيمًا عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا مَا لَمْ تَخْتِمْ آيَةَ عَذَابٍ بِرَحْمَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ آيَةَ رَحْمَةٍ بِعَذَابٍ .

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Ubayy, I was asked to recite the Quran and I was asked: 'In one mode or two modes?' The angel that accompanied me said: 'Say, in two modes', I said: 'In two modes', I was asked again: 'In two or three modes'. The matter reached up to seven modes. He then said: 'Each mode is sufficiently health-giving, whether you utter 'all-hearing and all-knowing' or instead 'all-powerful and all-wise'. This is valid until you finish the verse indicating punishment on mercy and finish the verse indicating mercy on punishment.
