حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ، الْجَوْنِيُّ عَنْ جُنْدَبٍ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ - أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ مَا ائْتَلَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ قُلُوبُكُمْ فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فَقُومُوا " .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2667b
This Hadith about reciting the Qur'an with agreement repeats the same clear instruction. Jundub reported that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said to recite the Qur'an as long as hearts agree. When variance is found between them, people should stand up. The meaning is practical and easy to understand. If Qur'an discussion or recitation turns into dispute, the better action is to stop that gathering for the time being rather than letting conflict grow. The Hadith keeps respect for the Qur'an at the center. For users searching for hadith when you differ about Quran, this narration gives a short rule for avoiding harmful argument.
What we learn from this hadith
- Recitation should continue while hearts remain in agreement.
- When disagreement appears, stepping away can prevent harm.
- Respect for the Qur'an includes avoiding quarrels around it.
