Sahih Muslim 824b — Remembering Abdullah's Recitation

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 824b

This narration is brief, but it still serves an important purpose for the reader of hadith about Qur'an recitation. It tells that 'Alqama came to Syria, entered a mosque, prayed, and then sat in a circle. A man came, and the people showed signs of unease. He sat beside the narrator and asked whether he remembered how 'Abdullah used to recite. The rest of the hadith was then narrated like the earlier report. The focus here is memory and transmission. The wording points back to a known recitation report, showing that people asked about how a Companion recited, and that such details were carried through gatherings.
