Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, "A man who knows the Quran well is like a man who has a hobbled
camel. If he takes care of it, he keeps it, and if he lets it go, it
gets away."
Muwatta Malik Book 15, Hadith 7

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az-
Zubayr that Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abd al-Qari said that he had heard Umar
ibn al-Khattab say, "I heard Hisham ibn Hakim ibn Hizam reciting Surat
al-Furqan (Sura 25) differently from me, and it was the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who had recited it to
me. I was about to rush up to him but I granted him a respite until he
had finished his prayer. Then I grabbed him by his cloak and took him
to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
and said, 'Messenger of Allah, I heard this man reciting Surat al-
Furqan differently from the way you recited it to me.' The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Let him go.'
Then he said, 'Recite, Hisham,' and Hisham recited as I had heard him
recite. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, 'It was sent down like that.' Then he said to me,
'Recite' and I recited the sura, and he said, 'It was sent down like
that. This Quran was sent down in seven (different) ways, so recite
from it whatever is easy for you .' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father from A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, that al-Harith ibn Hisham asked the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "How does the
revelation come to you?" and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Sometimes it comes to me like the
ringing of a bell, and that is the hardest for me, and when it leaves
me I remember what it has said. And sometimes the angel appears to me
in the likeness of a man and talks to me and I remember what he says."
