Did the Messenger lengthen certain words?

The questioner : As for the Shaykh, he believes in the existence of rules. Styles, just as they become.

The Shaykh : Yes. No, no. Prayer and blessings. We respond to that by saying that we have not heard the recitation of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to be in this manner, and we know now that over time, reciters introduced something into the recitation, and therefore the recitation of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was contrary to their rules. The Messenger would lengthen "Allah," lengthen "al-Rahman," and lengthen "al-Rahim," whereas according to their rules, these are not lengthened. Therefore, we see that these matters, meaning, entered as an improvement from the perspective of improving the recitation until it reached this state. What? Yes, yes, even this is from Mas'ud. Thank you. It is known, because if he did not lengthen them, because if he said "al-fuqara" only, it means he dropped the hamzah, he dropped the hamzah.

The questioner : Meaning, we must assume that

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : The recitation of the transmitters came to us from the young men. Yes.

The Shaykh : But we cannot be certain that it was transmitted in the form that exists now; we cannot. As for the issue of the lengthening in "al-fuqara," it is known, because if you say "al-fuqara" instead of "inna al-sadaqah la al-fuqara," you have dropped a clear letter.
