Definition of reading Hadr

Reciting the Hadr is reading quickly, taking into account the rules of Tajweed. It is one of the three levels of recitation, and the Hadr is considered the best of them. It is completely different from reading the investigation, as when Ibn Mujahid was asked, “Who is the most readable of people?” He said: Whoever investigates Hadar, and whoever says the best is investigation with contemplation, even if it is with little recitation, because the purpose of the Qur’an is to understand it and act on it, and its recitation and memorization is only a means to that, then all ranks are permissible, and each rank has its status: investigation for teaching, Hadr for study and recall, and rotation. To understand and contemplate.

It was mentioned in the book of the Ten Recitations by Ibn al-Jazari, where he said: “Reciting the hadar is intended to increase the number of times and gain the merit and reward of frequent recitation of the Holy Qur’an. In it, one should be careful not to cut off the vowels, to lose the sound of the ghanna, to miss most of the vowels, and to be negligent to the point where the reading is not valid and cannot be described as such.” Recitation is the fourth level: Its name is tawdīr, and it is medium-speed, between tartīl and ḍādr. Imam Ibn al-Jazari says in his book The Ten Recitations: “The Book of God Almighty is read with taqīqīq, with hadr, and with tawārī, which is the mediation between the two cases, reciting beautifully with Arabic melodies and sounds, and improving pronunciation and voice according to ability.”

It is worth noting that reading Hadr is the doctrine and method of reading and reciting many well-known reciters such as Ibn Kathir, Abu Jaafar, Abu Amr, Ya’qub, Qalun, Al-Asbahani, Al-Wali on the authority of Hafs, and others, but caution must also be taken when reading the Qur’an by avoiding reading too much. It is limited to the point where it does not reach the correct reading, or takes it beyond the limit of recitation
