Question
Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
1. In reciting the verse 77:20 according to Hafs by the way of Shatibi, as I
understand, the Qaf can be assimilated (idgham) into the Kaf either
partially or completely. I read, however, that in reciting this verse by the
way of Tayyibah, only complete assimilation is allowed. Is this correct ?
(The pdf document on your website does not mention this)
2. In reciting Hafs by the way of Tayyibah, would the "la" in "La ilaha
illallah" be elongated two or four harakat?
3. Are there any principle tajweed differences between the riwayah of Hafs
and Shu'bah, or are the differences only in the recitation of particular
words?
Jazakallah Khayran
May Allah accept and increase your efforts.
Answer
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
1. The word
is read with
complete assimilation, or idhgaam kaamil, for all of the different qira’aat
including Hafs ‘an ‘Aasim in tareeq Ash-Shatibiyyah and in all of the turuq
in Tareeq At-Tayyibah. There are some reports in the old documentations of
turuq or ways that have an incomplete assimilation, but not of these ways
are mutawaatir and are therefore not read today. Sheikh Muhammed Ad-Dabbaa’
mentioned this in his work on the authentic ways of Hafs,
.
In the poem written by Sheikh Abdulazeez ‘Uyoon As-Sood which outlines the
ways of Hafs ‘an ‘Aasim according to the book
there
is a line about this. In it, may Allah be merciful to him, he states:
,
meaning “the merging of nakhluqkum is pure [complete] for Hafs.” There are
some modern tajweed books which state that this idhgaam can be read two
ways: a. incompletely (with
of the
) or b. completely
merged into the
with
no characteristic left over from the
. The truth is
however, that this is not based on authentic chains of transmission and the
assimilation should only be read with a complete merging of the
into the
.
2. There are 52 turuq or ways of Hafs 'an 'Aasim in
Tareeq At-Tayyibah, and there a few of these many ways that allow the
lengthening in question. These few ways have two vowel counts for
and
six vowel counts for
and
a ghunnah (incomplete merging/assimilation) on the idhgaam of the
saakinah and
tanween into the
and
, and have an allowed
lengthening for vowel count on the
in the phrases
declaring that there is no deity except Allah, such as
,
and
.
This is called “glorification [magnification] lengthening” or
.
To read with this lengthening though, one has to follow all the rules for
the tareeq and apply them. Please also see an explanation in:
http://www.abouttajweed.com/150707.htm .
3. There is no difference in the basic rules, outside
of some rules involving words in the
and
some words having imaalah between Hafs and Shu’bah, other than that and as
indicated in the question, the difference is in individual words.
Jazakum Allahu khairan for the dua' and may Allah
reward you greatly also.
Wa assalaam alaikum.
