Is what was narrated from some of the Salaf true, that Jacob (peace be upon him) met his grandfather Abraham (peace be upon him) and was present at his bequest, based on reading "And Abraham enjoined it upon his sons, and Jacob" (with an accusative fathah on "Jacob"), and is this reading irregular because it is not among the twenty successive narrations?

It is a "shadhdh" (irregular) reading, recited by some of the Salaf, where Ya'qub is conjoined with his sons, meaning that Ibrahim enjoined his sons and his grandson Ya'qub. Ibn Kathir and Al-Qasimi favored the opinion that Ya'qub met his grandfather Ibrahim, peace be upon them both.
