Tajweed rule: Madd Al-Munfasil: 2, 4 or 5 Vowels

المد المنفصل madda_obligatory_monfasel
A madd letter at the end of a word followed by a hamza at the start of the next word. Despite the key's name it's permissible (jaa'iz), not obligatory.

When it applies

بِمَآ أُنزِلَ, قُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡ, فِيٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡ. Also a ha of a pronoun read with a long vowel before a hamza: بِهِۦٓ أَن.

How to read it

Stretch 4 or 5 counts (2 is also allowed in Hafs). When stopping on the first word, it's a normal 2 count madd.
