The answer

Reciting "na'budu" with a kasra on the baa' (i.e., "na'budi") is a linguistic error (laḥn) that has not been reported in any of the Qira'at (recitations) or Arabic language books. However, it does not invalidate the prayer or the recitation because it does not alter the meaning. Nonetheless, intentionally committing such an error is prohibited. A linguistic error that does not change the meaning, such as raising a word that should be in the accusative case or placing a word that should be in the nominative case in the accusative case, does not cause harm. This is unlike an error that changes the meaning, which invalidates the prayer and disqualifies the person from leading the prayer.
