"Verily, it is We who have sent down the Dhikr, (i.e. the Qu'ran) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption)." (Al-Hijr 15:9)
In this verse, Allah سبحانه وتعالى has assured the preservation of the Qur'an.
This implies that the Qur'an will remain unchanged and that it shall
always be transferred from one generation to the other in its real and
original form, undistorted by any foreign element. The question before
us is whether protection is restricted to the words of the Qur'an or
does it extend to its meanings. If the Prophetic explanation is
necessary to understand the Qur'an correctly, then the preservation
of the Qur'anic words alone cannot serve the purpose unless the Prophetic
explanations are also preserved.
"And We have also sent down unto you the Reminder and
the Advice (the Qur'an) that you may explain clearly to the
people what has been sent down for them" (An-Nahl 16:44)

The word ‘Dhikr' has been used here to mean the Qur'an and it has been
made clear that the people can only benefit from its guidance when they
are led by the explanations of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.
