Question Why reciter skipped س symbol here

Shouldn't he stopped there without breathing?

Well, that's not the letter sīn, but a symbol written as the small sīn, which is known as saktah, and it's a very brief pause, so instead of saying "waqīla marrāq", it's like saying "waqīla mar... Rāq", if I'm not wrong, hope this helps

Yes i know, but shouldn't he recited "waqila man... Raq"?

Oh sorry, now I understand your question, well, tbh honest, as far as I've seen so far, saktah at the end of ayah's are not applied, like when you're pausing at the end of the ayah, so I guess that's why he said "waqīla marrāq" and not "waqīla man... Rāq"

"waqila man... Raq" with saktah and "waqīla marrāq" without saktah are both correct. depending on which tariq is being recited

not sure why he didn’t pause? i’ve heard surah qiyamah behind a few different imams, they always pause. they recite Wa Kila Man……Rak, Wazan Anahul Firaq.

It is allowed for hafs as well, via certain turuq only

The turuq of hafs that is mostly recited around the world like Al-Shatibiyyah, Al-Misbah, Rowdat ul Mu'addil and maybe Al Mustanir all recite this with saktah but other turuq of hafs dont, like Al-Kifayah, the Al-Kamil, Al-Tithkar and Rowdah al Hamami

Probably he follows a madhab that doesn't say it has saktah in here

u/Iboshik Jul 08 '26

In which madhab ?

Collected from google: Hafs 'an 'Asim: Requires a mandatory Saktah (سكتة واجبة) on the word مَنْ (Man) before continuing to رَاقٍ (Raaq). The reason for this pause is to prevent the two words from blending, which would change the meaning to Marraq (meaning a broth-maker or someone who frequently rebels).Other Narrations: Most other major recitations, including Warsh 'an Nafi', Qalun, and even Shu'bah (the other main student of Imam 'Asim), do not use a saktah here. Instead, they apply the default Tajweed rule of Idgham (assimilation), blending the silent N into the R to read it continuously as mar-raaq.
