Summary
The hadith is authentic and was narrated by Imam Muslim in Sahih Muslim. A reciter who stumbles and finds it difficult receives two rewards, one for the recitation and one for the hardship, as explained by Imam al-Nawawi. This does not mean the reward exceeds that of a fluent reciter, who is more virtuous, earns more reward and will be accompanied by the angels in the hereafter. Muslims are encouraged to recite the Quran often, improve their recitation and keep learning.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Namun, maksud hadis ini bukanlah menunjukkan orang yang tidak lancar membaca al-Quran itu pahalanya lebih banyak berbanding orang yang lancar membaca al-Quran.
