وَالَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَتَتَعْتَعُ فِيهِ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ شَاقٌّ لَهُ أَجْرَانِ
and he who falters in it, and finds it difficult for him, will have two rewards.

What It Means: Reading in Context
The word “it” refers to reciting the Qur’an. Aisha reports a saying that first honours the proficient reciter, then gives this encouragement to someone who finds recitation difficult. This excerpt preserves the second part; it does not suggest deliberately making mistakes or avoiding improvement. This entry comes from Sahih Muslim 798a. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
REFLECTION · EDITORIAL
If recitation feels difficult, continue learning at a pace you can sustain. Accept patient correction and recognise the effort involved in returning to practise.
This reflection is not Qur’an, hadith or an authoritative tafsir.
