Teaching illustration: Read «قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ» plainly, then again with a naturally more attractive tone.

Did «هُوَ» acquire an unwarranted stretch?
Were the letters and ending of «أَحَدٌ» preserved?
If the second reading sounds nicer but corrupts a sound, the plain accurate reading is preferable.
