Is every reading that contradicts the readings collected by 'Umar considered anomalous?

The questioner : How are you?

The Shaykh : This is with regard to the readings that were collected, which 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) collected. As for the reading of Ibn Mas'ud, whatever contradicted this reading that came with 'Umar, the scholars considered it anomalous. Yes.

The questioner : No, it is not valid; it can be rejected based on the limit that 'Umar set.

The Shaykh : Correct.

The questioner : Yes, and there is evidence for acting on circumstantial evidence; the Companions used to act on circumstantial evidence. Did you hear?

The Shaykh : How is that?

The questioner : For example, it might be khamr (intoxicants) that is mostly sweet.

The Shaykh : No, the apparent indication is that when he said, "I recited to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)," it seems he knew that the man was not sound in his mind. Yes, that is right, meaning this statement. He denies the reading of Ibn Mas'ud, and he had recited it to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). And yet, when he said this, he said, "You have done well." This indicates that the man is not of sound mind, yes? This man. No, no, not by the apparent indication; the apparent indication is the man.

The questioner : Yes, yes, O Shaykh.
