3990 - Muhammad ibn Rafi' al-Naysaburi narrated to us, Ishaq ibn Sulayman al-Razi narrated to us, I heard Abu Ja'far mentioning, from al-Rabi' ibn Anas, from Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet, peace be upon him, who said: The recitation of the Prophet, peace be upon him, was: "Nay, there have come to you My verses, and you denied them and were arrogant and were among the disbelievers" [al-Zumar: 59](1).

--------------------------------------------

= And it is in "Sahih Ibn Hibban" (36).

And my statement: {until when they are terrified} — thus I recorded it in (A), (B), and (E), and I recorded it in (J) as "faragha" with an unpointed fa', an unpointed ra', and a pointed ghayn, all with full vowels. However, it comes in al-Bukhari following the hadith that Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah narrated from 'Amr, from 'Ikrimah, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet, peace be upon him, that he recited "furriga" with a damma on the fa', a shadda on the unpointed ra', and a pointed ghayn, and Sufyan said: And this is our recitation.

Ibn al-Jawzi mentioned in "Zad al-Masir" 6/452 that it is the recitation of al-Hasan, Qatadah, and Ibn Ya'mur. He said: And it has the same meaning as the first, because it [the matter] has been emptied of terror. And al-Hafiz said in "al-Fath" 8/539: This recitation is also reported from al-Hasan, Qatadah, and Mujahid, and the well-known recitation is with the zay and the unpointed 'ayn.

Ibn 'Amir recited it — [we say: and Ya'qub al-Hadrami] — as "fazza'a" built for the active voice, and its meaning with the zay and unpointed 'ayn is: the terror removed [their senses] from them. And the meaning of that which is with the ra' and pointed ghayn is: what had settled in their hearts departed from them.

And al-Saharnafuri said in "Badhl al-Majhud" 16/319: And this recitation with the ra' and the pointed [ghayn] is outside the mutawatir recitations.

(1) Its chain is weak due to the weakness of Abu Ja'far — and he is 'Isa ibn Abi 'Isa Mahan al-Razi. And the author's statement following the hadith: "This is mursal" — it is as he said, and by his saying "mursal" he means that it is munqati'; the application of "mursal" to munqati' is common among the early imams. However, the intermediary between al-Rabi' and Umm Salama has been specified, namely Abu al-'Aliyah Rufay' ibn Mihran, according to al-Hakim in his "Mustadrak" and others. If the mention of the intermediary is sound, the weakness of Abu Ja'far al-Razi remains.

And Abu 'Umar Hafs ibn 'Umar al-Duri narrated it in "Qira'at al-Nabi" (99) from Muhammad ibn 'Anbasah, and al-Khatib in "Tarikh Baghdad" 6/324 via the route of al-Hasan ibn Mukram, both from Ishaq ibn Sulayman al-Razi, with this chain. And it is most likely that Muhammad ibn 'Anbasah is a corruption of Muhammad ibn 'Isa — and he is Ibn Razin al-Taymi al-Razi — and the corruption is old, because al-Mizzi mentioned in his biography of al-Duri among his teachers Muhammad ibn 'Anbasah. So God Almighty knows best. =
