Mishkat al-Masabih #2117
The Excellent Qualities of the Qur'an
Ibn ‘Abbās reported God’s messenger as saying, “Gabriel taught me to recite in one mode, and when I replied to him and kept asking him to give me more he did so till he reached seven modes." Ibn Shihāb said he had heard that those seven modes are essentially one, not differing about what is permitted and what is prohibited.
(Bukhārī and Muslim.)
