[Machine] Thirty of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ gathered and said, "We have learned what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recites aloud in prayer, and what he does not recite aloud, we should not measure based on what he recites aloud." They gathered and only two of them differed, saying that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite in the Dhuhr prayer around thirty verses in the first two rak'ahs and half of that in the last two rak'ahs. And in the Asr prayer, he used to recite half of what he recited in the first two rak'ahs of Dhuhr, and in the last two rak'ahs, he recited half of that.
