[Machine] I heard Jabir saying, "Muadh used to pray with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , then he would return and lead his people in prayer. One night, he led them in the Isha prayer and recited Surah Al-Baqarah. A man made a prolonged bow and then left. Muadh criticized him for that, and this incident was conveyed to the Prophet ﷺ . He said, "Ruination, ruination, or he said, 'misguidance, misguidance, misguidance.' Then he ordered him to recite two middle Surahs from Al-Mufassal." Umar said, "I do not remember which two Surahs they were."  

أحمد:١٤٩٦٠حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ كَانَ مُعَاذٌ يُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فَيَؤُمُّ قَوْمَهُ قَالَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ مَرَّةً الْعِشَاءَ فَقَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ فَعَمَدَ رَجُلٌ فَانْصَرَفَ فَكَانَ مُعَاذٌ يَنَالُ مِنْهُ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ فَتَّانٌ فَتَّانٌ أَوْ قَالَ فَاتِنٌ فَاتِنٌ فَاتِنٌ وَأَمَرَهُ بِسُورَتَيْنِ مِنْ أَوْسَطِ الْمُفَصَّلِ قَالَ عَمْرٌو لَا أَحْفَظُهُمَا

Jabir bin ʿAbdullah said, "Muʿadh bin Jabal used to pray with the Prophet ﷺ and then go to lead his people in prayer Once he led the ʿIsha' prayer and recited Surat "Al-Baqara." Somebody left the prayer and Muʿadh criticized him. The news reached the Prophet ﷺ and he said to Muʿadh, 'You are putting the people to trial,' and repeated it thrice (or said something similar) and ordered him to recite two medium Suras of Mufassal." (ʿAmr said that he had forgotten the names of those Suras).  

البخاري:٧٠١وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

كَانَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ يُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فَيَؤُمُّ قَوْمَهُ فَصَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ فَقَرَأَ بِالْبَقَرَةِ فَانْصَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ فَكَأَنَّ مُعَاذًا تَنَاوَلَ مِنْهُ فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ فَتَّانٌ فَتَّانٌ فَتَّانٌ ثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ أَوْ قَالَ فَاتِنًا فَاتِنًا فَاتِنٌ وَأَمَرَهُ بِسُورَتَيْنِ مِنْ أَوْسَطِ الْمُفَصَّلِ قَالَ عَمْرٌو لاَ أَحْفَظُهُمَا
