Dialects and Readings of the Qur'an (Kitab Al-Huruf Wa Al-Qira'at)

ENGLISH

Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) related a tradition in which he mentioned the words "Jibril and Mikal" and he pronounced them "Jibra'ila wa Mika'ila." Abu Dawud said: Khalaf said: I did not put the pen aside from writing letters (huruf) for forty years: nothing tired me (or made me incapable of writing), even Jibril and Mika'il did not tire me.
