Examples of the Qira’a of the Ahl al-Bayt

A man recited for Abi Abdillah عليه السلام - while I was listening - Huruf (wordings) from the Qur’an which are not how the people (masses) recite. So Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: Desist from this recitation! Recite the way the people recite. Until Qaim rises, so when the Qaim عليه السلام rises he will recite the Book of Allah Mighty and Majestic following its true bounds and he will bring out the Codex which Ali عليه السلام had written down.

He (i.e. the Imam) said: Ali عليه السلام took it (i.e. the Codex) out to the people when he had completed it and written it down and said to them: This is the Book of Allah Mighty and Majestic as it was sent down by Allah upon Muhammad صلى الله عليه وآله - I have gathered it between the two boards. They said: We do have a Codex in which the Qur’an has been gathered - we do not have any need of it! He said: By Allah - you will not see it after this day of yours ever! It was only (an obligation) upon me to inform you after gathering it so that you recite (from) it

Like this? He (i.e. the Imam) said: This is how we recite it and this is how it came down

The Maghdhub Alayhim (those angered upon) are the Nussab (i.e. haters of the Ahl al-Bayt) while the Dhalin (those astray) are the Jews and Christians

“Ghayri l-Maghdhub Alayhim wa Ghayr al-Dhalin”: The Maghdhub Alayhim (those angered upon) are the Nussab (i.e. haters of the Ahl al-Bayt) while the Dhalin (those astray) are the Shakkak (doubters) who do not know the Imam

A man recited for the Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام - ‘Fa Innahum La Yukadhdhibunaka wa Lakinna l-Dhalimina bi Ayati-llahi Yajhadun’ so he (i.e. the Imam) said: Indeed by Allah - they rejected him (i.e. the prophet) a most severe rejection, but it (the word in the verse) is softened (i.e. pronounced without Shadda) ‘La Yukdhibunaka’, (that is) they will not come with a falsehood by which to negate your truth (i.e. render it false)
