Jundub ibn Abdallah reported God’s messenger as saying, “Recite the Qur’an as long as you can concentrate on it, but when your concentration flags give it up.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)
وَعَنْ جُنْدُبِ بْنِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ
قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اقرؤوا الْقُرْآنَ مَا ائْتَلَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ قُلُوبُكُمْ فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فَقومُوا عَنهُ»
Jundub ibn Abdallah reported God’s messenger as saying, “Recite the Qur’an as long as you can concentrate on it, but when your concentration flags give it up.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)
This Hadīth means that the Muslims should recite the Qur’an together as long as they agree on its interpretation. However, if they disagree in understanding its meanings, then they should stop reciting it lest this disagreement should lead to evil. Another possible meaning: stick to the meanings of the Qur’an which are not prone to different interpretations.
If you come across meanings which can be interpreted differently and cause dispute, avoid debating and arguing regarding them. This could also be an instruction to recite the Qur’an as long as one's heart is inclined to do so. If the heart feels bored or tired, then recitation should be left until the heart becomes fresh and active again.
The same command was given concerning the prayer. The first interpretation, however, seems more probable.
