Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The brother has a question: Is it valid to cite the hadith of Abu (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the imam not correcting the follower if he makes a mistake in a specific place in the recitation? The hadith says:
till he reached up to seven harfs حتى بلغ سبعة أحرف
Sunan Abi Dawud 1478Sahih (Al-Albani)
, then he said:
It is not one of us unless it is sufficient and clear: if you say "Hearing and Knowing" and if you say "Mighty and Wise," provided you do not conclude a verse of punishment with mercy or a verse of mercy with punishment ليس منا إلا كافٍ شاف إن قلت : سمعيًا عليمًا وإن قلت : عزيزًا حكيمًا ما لم تختم آية عذاب برحمة أو آية رحمة بعذاب
?

The Shaykh : Repeat the question for me.

The questioner : It asks: Is it valid to cite the hadith of Abu (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the imam not correcting the follower if he makes a mistake in a specific place in the recitation?

The Shaykh : He means the follower correcting the imam.

The questioner : Regarding the imam not correcting the follower.

The Shaykh : It is likely a slip of the pen. This is inverted in some of the hadiths, meaning the follower correcting the imam. He intends the follower opening up to the imam... It appears he means the follower correcting the imam, that is, opening up to him. Now, what is the rest of the question?

The questioner : If he makes a mistake in a specific place in the recitation, the hadith says:
The matter reached up to seven modes. He then said: 'Each mode is sufficiently حتى بلغ سبعة أحرف ، ثم قال : ليس منها كافٍ كاف
Sunan Abi Dawud 1477Sahih (Al-Albani)


The Shaykh : It is not from them except

The questioner :
sufficiently health-giving, whether you utter 'all-hearing and all-knowing' or instead 'all-powerful and all-wise'. This is valid until you finish the verse indicating punishment on mercy and finish the verse indicating mercy on punishment. كاف شاف إن قلت : سمعيًا عليمًا وإن قلت : عزيزًا حكيمًا ما لم تختم آية عذاب برحمة أو آية رحمة بعذاب
Sunan Abi Dawud 1477Sahih (Al-Albani)
؟

The Shaykh : The understanding of the question, after correcting the inversion, is that you want to place the follower, the ma'mum, first, and the imam last, and he intendsThe questioner : that if the imam makes a mistake during his recitation of the Qur'an, and his mistake does not change the meaning of the verse—such as making a verse of mercy in place of a verse of punishment, or placing "Hearing, Seeing" in place of "Knowing, Hearing," or the like—then does he open up to him or not? The answer is that if the recitation the imam recited is from the established recitations of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), then naturally he does not open up to him. But if it is a weakness and a mistake, he opens up to him and corrects him. This is what we see, and Allah knows best.

The questioner : He says to the brother: Perhaps there is a Shaytan whispering to this person, so we want to know how to whisper to this whispering Shaytan?

The Shaykh : This is a question...
