That he heard a man reciting a Quranic Verse which he had heard the Prophet (ﷺ) reciting in a different way. So he took that man to the Prophet (and told him the story). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Both of you are reciting in a correct way, so carry on reciting." The Prophet (ﷺ) further added, "The nations which were before you were destroyed (by Allah) because they differed."

A group of three men came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) asking how the Prophet (ﷺ)
worshipped (Allah), and when they were informed about that, they considered their worship
insufficient and said, "Where are we from the Prophet (ﷺ) as his past and future sins have been forgiven."
Then one of them said, "I will offer the prayer throughout the night forever." The other said, "I will
fast throughout the year and will not break my fast." The third said, "I will keep away from the
women and will not marry forever." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to them and said, "Are you the same people
who said so-and-so? By Allah, I am more submissive to Allah and more afraid of Him than you; yet I
fast and break my fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So he who does not follow my tradition in
religion, is not from me (not one of my followers).
