It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited (the word "al-bahru" in verse 27 of Surah Luqman) with raf', that is, with a dammah: "wa al-bahru yamudduhu". [Surah Luqman: 27] This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
