Question
Assalamu
Aleikum
The information that you explained concerning the hiding of the noon was very
useful. may Allah be pleased with you inshallah.
1- I have a few questions concerning the stopping on a hamzah that has a
tanween with fatha. In surah 14 (Ibrahim) verse 32: "...maa an 
(water)..." I have heard reciters stopping on that word, but they did not
silence the hamzah. Rather, they read it as: "Maa aa". The same
happened in surah 56 (al wâqi'ah)
verse 35. The sheikh stopped but did not silence the hamzah. He read it as:
"in shâ aa". My question is: Why is a hamzah that has a tanween
with fatha read and not silenced but a hamzah that has either a regular fatha,
dhamma, or kasra is silenced when stopped on?
2- In surah 112, when one links verse 1 and verse 2 without stopping, I have
noticed that the Alif for verse 2 bears a kasra which is read: "....A
haduni lahu samad...". this example also occurs in surah 53 verse 50 ( 'adan
il uula) and surah 18 verse 88 (djazâ an il husna) to name a few. Would you
please explain the reasons? And if you have a lesson regarding this example
would you please guide us to it inshallah?
May Allah help you understand these questions and facilitate your research
inshallah.
Ma Salam

1. When we stop
on a word that ends with a hamzah with a fat-hah tanween there is a medd
called
.
In this case the fat-hah tanween is changed into an alif.

The bottom line is that the Arabs stop on a tanween fat-hah with an
alif except when it is a female
. The
hamzah ending a word is heard in both the case of a fat-hah tanween and any
other vowel, but it does not have a sukoon when stopping on it with a fat-hah
tanween whereas it does in the other cases.
Perhaps this is what was meant by “silencing”, but the term
indicates the hamzah is not heard.
2.
There are some copies of the Qur’an used in the Indian-Pakistani area
and South African that write in a vowel on hamzah al-wasl when there are two
saakin letters meeting between two words.
The problem with this, is that hamzah al-wasl does not acquire a vowel
in these cases, the saakin letter before it does. The
copies of the Qur’an printed at the Medina Printing complex do not have this
written in,
and
we suggest you use that, if you are able to obtain one.
In the examples cited in the question, the
saakinah
of the tanween acquires a kasrah. Please
