Sahih Muslim 824a (Book 6, Hadith 344) #9069
Reciting the Quran According to Prophet Muhammad's Teachings

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of reciting the Quran in accordance with how it was taught by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

'Alqama reported. We went to Syria and Abu Darda' came to us and said: Is there anyone among you who recites according to the recitation of Abdullah? I said: Yes, it is I. He again said: How did you hear 'Abdullah reciting this verse: (wa'l-lail-i-idha yaghsha = when the night covers)? He ('Alqama) said: I heard him reciting it (like this) (wa'l-lail-i-idha yaghsha) wa-dhakar wal untha = when the night covers and the males and the females). Upon this he said: By Allah, I heard the Messenger of Allah reciting in this way, but they (the Muslims of Syria) desire us to recite: (wa ma khalaqa), but I do not yield to their desire.
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ قَدِمْنَا الشَّامَ فَأَتَانَا أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَ أَفِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ يَقْرَأُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ أَنَا ‏.‏ قَالَ فَكَيْفَ سَمِعْتَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ يَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ ‏{‏ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى‏}‏ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ ‏{‏ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى * وَالذَّكَرِ وَالأُنْثَى‏}‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَأَنَا وَاللَّهِ هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقْرَؤُهَا وَلَكِنْ هَؤُلاَءِ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ وَمَا خَلَقَ ‏.‏ فَلاَ أُتَابِعُهُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of reciting the Quran according to how it was taught by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Alqama reported that he and his companions went to Syria and met with Abu Darda'. He asked if anyone among them could recite according to Abdullah's recitation. When Alqama said yes, he asked him how he heard Abdullah recite a particular verse. Alqama said that he heard him recite it in a certain way but people in Syria wanted them to recite it differently. However, Abu Darda' refused this request as he himself had heard Prophet Muhammad ﷺrecite it in this way and did not want change its original form. This hadith teaches us that we should be careful when reciting or teaching others about the verses of the Holy Qur’an as we must ensure that they are being conveyed accurately as taught by our beloved prophet ﷺand not changed or altered in any way whatsoever .
