Sunan Abi Dawud 4005

سنن أبي داود#4005Sahih

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، قَالَ قِيلَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُنَاسًا يَقْرَءُونَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ ‏{‏ وَقَالَتْ هِيتَ لَكَ ‏}‏ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَقْرَأُ كَمَا عُلِّمْتُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ ‏{‏ وَقَالَتْ هَيْتَ لَكَ ‏}‏ ‏.‏

Narrated Shariq:'Abd Allah (b. Mas'ud) was told that the people had read this verse: "She said: Now come, thou" (hita laka). He said: I read it as I have been taught ; it is dearer to me. It goes "wa qalat haita laka" (She said: Now come thou)
