What is the ruling on intentionally misquoting a verse in order to test others?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This question says: One of the brothers said he tests his companions in their memorization of the Qur'an by changing a verse. For example, in a verse from Surat al-Ma'idah, he says: This brother says: Is the correct word "sawwala" or "waswasat"? If the one being asked makes a mistake, he corrects the verse for him. The question is: What is the ruling on this? And what is your advice?

Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to change the words of the Qur'an and say, "I am testing the student." This is absolutely not permissible. This is playing with the Qur'an. Learn the Qur'an by other means, through dictation. Learn it through dictation and by reading it from the mushaf. The Muslims did not use this method of changing the words and testing the student. There is no harm in doing this with people's speech, even in poetry. However, it is not permissible to play with the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) or change any of its words. So this action is not permissible. Yes. Resort to a method other than this. Yes.
