Umar Bin AlKhattab said: I heard Hisham Bin Hakim Bin Hizam reciting Surah AlFurqan in a different manner from my way of reciting; and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had taught me to recite it. I nearly spoke sharply to him; but I delayed till he had finished. Then I caught his cloak at the neck; and I brought him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said: Messenger of Allah; I heard this man reciting Surah AlFurqan in a manner different from that in which you taught me to recite it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ the told him to recite it. He then recited in the manner I heard him recite. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Thus was it sent down. He then said to me: Recite; I recited it. He then said: Thus was it sent down. He said: The Quran was sent down in seven modes of reading; so recite according to what comes most easily.
