Zaid bin Thabit said: "Why do I see you reciting short surahs in Maghrib when I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ reciting the longer of the two long surahs in it?" I said: "O Abu Abdullah, what is the longer of the two long surahs?" He said: "Al-A'raf."  

مَا لِي أَرَاكَ تَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِقِصَارِ السُّوَرِ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِأَطْوَلِ الطُّولَيَيْنِ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَا أَطْوَلُ الطُّولَيَيْنِ قَالَ الأَعْرَافُ  

[Machine] He informed me that Zaid bin Thabit said to me, "Why don't you recite in the Maghrib prayer the Surahs of shorter length? Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite in the Maghrib prayer the Surahs of lengthy length." I said to 'Urwa, "What are the Surahs of lengthy length?" He said, "It is Al-A'raf and those similar to it."  

أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ قَالَ لِي زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ مَا لَكَ تَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِقِصَارِ الْمُفَصَّلِ؟ لَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ طُولَى الطُّولَيَيْنِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعُرْوَةَ مَا طُولَى الطُّولَيَيْنِ؟ قَالَ الْأَعْرَافُ  

[Machine] For Zaid bin Thabit: What makes you read in prayer with a relatively short recitation? I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ reciting with two long surahs. I asked, "What are these two long surahs?" He said, "Al-A'raf and Yunus."  

لِي زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ مَا لِي أَرَاكَ تَقْرَأُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ بِقِصَارِ الْمُفَصَّلِ؟ فَلَقَدْ «رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ بِالطَّوِيلتَيْنِ» قُلْتُ وَمَا الطَّوِيلتَيْنِ؟ قَالَ «الْأَعْرَافُ وَيُونُسُ»  

Zaid bin Thabit said: "Why do I see you reciting short surahs in Maghrib when I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ reciting the longer of the two long surahs in it?" I said: "O Abu Abdullah, what is the longer of the two long surahs?" He said: "Al-A'raf." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 990)  

مَا لِي أَرَاكَ تَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِقِصَارِ السُّوَرِ؟ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِطُولَى الطُّولَيَيْنِ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ مَا طُولَى الطُّولَيَيْنِ قَالَ «الْأَعْرَافُ»
