The Importance of Reciting Quran in its Original Form

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of reciting the Quran in its original form as taught by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Narrated 'Alqamah: "We arrived in Ash-Sham and we went to Abu Ad-Darda. So he said: 'Is there any among you who can recite for me according to the recitation of 'Abdullah?'" He said: "They pointed to me, so I said: 'Yes, I (can recite)'. He said: 'How did you hear 'Abdullah recite this Ayah: By the night as it envelopes?'" He said: "I said: 'I heard him recite it: "Wal-Laili Idha Yaghsha, Wadh-Dhakari Wal-Untha" Abu Ad-Darda said: 'Me too, By Allah, this is how I heard the Messenger of Allah reciting it. But these people want me to recite it: Wa Ma Khalaqa but I will not follow them'."

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of reciting the Quran in its original form as taught by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Abu Ad-Darda was asked if anyone among them could recite according to Abdullah's recitation. When Alqamah said yes, Abu Ad-Darda asked him to recite a particular ayat. Alqamah recited it according to how he heard it from Abdullah and Abu Ad-Darda confirmed that this was also how he heard Prophet Muhammad recite it. However, some people wanted him to recite it differently but he refused to follow them. This hadith teaches us that we should adhere strictly to what has been taught by Prophet Muhammad and not deviate from it even if others are doing so. We should be careful when we are reading or listening to the Quranic verses and make sure that they are being read or listened in their original form as taught by our beloved prophet PBUH.
