I prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night and he started reciting al-Baqara. I thought that he would bow at the end of one hundred verses, but he proceeded on; I then thought that he would perhaps recite the whole (surah) in a rak'ah, but he proceeded and I thought he would perhaps bow on completing (this surah). He then started al-Nisa', and recited it; he then started Al-i-'Imran and recited leisurely. And when he recited the verses which referred to the Glory of Allah, he glorified (by saying Subhan Allah-Glory to my Lord the Great), and when he recited the verses which tell (how the Lord) is to be begged, he (the Holy Prophet) would then beg (from Him), and when he recited the verses dealing with protection from the Lord, he sought (His) protection and would then bow and say: Glory be to my Mighty Lord; his bowing lasted about the same length of time as his standing (and then on returning to the standing posture after ruku') he would say: Allah listened to him who praised Him, and he would then stand about the same length of time as he had spent in bowing. He would then prostrate himself and say: Glory be to my Lord most High, and his prostration lasted nearly the same length of time as his standing. In the hadith transmitted by Jarir the words are:" He (the Holy Prophet) would say:" Allah listened to him who praised Him, our Lord, to Thee i the praise." (Using translation from Muslim 772)   

صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَافْتَتَحَ الْبَقَرَةَ فَقُلْتُ يُصَلِّي بِهَا فِي رَكْعَةٍ ثُمَّ مَضَى فَقُلْتُ يَرْكَعُ بِهَا ثُمَّ افْتَتَحَ النِّسَاءَ فَقَرَأَهَا ثُمَّ افْتَتَحَ آلَ عِمْرَانَ فَقَرَأَهَا يَقْرَأُ مُتَرَسِّلًا إِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا تَسْبِيحٌ سَبَّحَ وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِسُؤَالٍ سَأَلَ وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِتَعَوُّذٍ تَعَوَّذَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمُ فَكَانَ رُكُوعُهُ نَحْوًا مِنْ قِيَامِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ قَرِيبًا مِمَّا رَكَعَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى فَكَانَ سُجُودُهُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ قِيَامِهِ  

Hudhaifah said that he prayed along with the Prophet ﷺ, and that he said when bowing, “Glory be to my mighty Lord, “ and when he prostrated himself, “Glory be to my most high Lord," when he came to a verse which spoke of mercy, he stopped and made supplication, and when he came to a verse which spoke of punishment, he stopped and sought refuge in Allah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 871)   

قُلْتُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ يَعْنِي الْأَعْمَشَ أَدْعُو فِي الصَّلَاةِ إِذَا مَرَرْتُ بِآيَةِ تَخَوُّفٍ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ مُسْتَوْرِدٍ عَنْ صِلَةَ بْنِ زُفَرَ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ وَفِي سُجُودِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الْأَعْلَى وَمَا مَرَّ بِآيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ إِلَّا وَقَفَ عِنْدَهَا فَسَأَلَ وَلَا بِآيَةِ عَذَابٍ إِلَّا وَقَفَ عِنْدَهَا فَتَعَوَّذَ  

[Machine] to Aishah, the Prophet's wife, "Indeed, there are men who would recite the Quran two or three times in one night." She said, "Those people have recited, but I used to stay up with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in complete darkness, and he would recite Surah Al-Baqarah, Surah Al-Imran, and Surah An-Nisa. When he would come across a verse that mentions glad tidings, he would supplicate and show delight. And when he would come across a verse that mentions threats or warnings, he would supplicate and seek refuge."  

لِعَائِشَةَ ؓ إِنَّ رِجَالًا يَقْرَأُ أَحَدُهُمُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَتْ أُولَئِكَ قَرَءُوا وَلَمْ يَقْرَءُوا كُنْتُ أَقُومُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي اللَّيْلِ التَّامِّ فَيَقْرَأُ بِالْبَقَرَةِ وَآلِ عِمْرَانَ وَالنِّسَاءِ فَإِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا اسْتِبْشَارٌ دَعَا وَرَغِبَ وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا تَخْوِيفٌ دَعَا وَاسْتَعَاذَ  

I stood up to pray along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; he got up and recited Surat al-Baqarah (Surah 2). When he came to a verse which spoke of mercy, he stopped and made supplication, and when he came to verse which spoke of punishment, he stopped and sought refuge in Allah, then he bowed and paused as long as he stood (reciting Surah al-Baqarah), and said while bowing, "Glory be to the Possessor of greatness, the Kingdom, grandeur and majesty." :Then he prostrated himself and paused as long as he stood up and recited Surat Aal Imran (Surah 3) and then recited many surahs one after another. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 873)   

قُمْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةً فَقَامَ فَقَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ لَا يَمُرُّ بِآيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ إِلَّا وَقَفَ فَسَأَلَ وَلَا يَمُرُّ بِآيَةِ عَذَابٍ إِلَّا وَقَفَ فَتَعَوَّذَ قَالَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ بِقَدْرِ قِيَامِهِ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْجَبَرُوتِ وَالْمَلَكُوتِ وَالْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ بِقَدْرِ قِيَامِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي سُجُودِهِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَقَرَأَ بِآلِ عِمْرَانَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ سُورَةً سُورَةً  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray voluntary prayers, and I heard him saying, "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the Hellfire, woe to the people of the Hellfire."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي تَطَوُّعًا فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَيْلٌ لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ  

[Machine] "That the Prophet (Peace be upon him) when he recited {Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High} (Quran 87:1), he said: Glory be to my Lord, the Most High."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا قَرَأَ {سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى} [الأعلى 1] قَالَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ خُولِفَ وَكِيعٌ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ  

A man used to pray on the roof of his house. When he recited the verse “Is not He able to bring the dead to life?” [Surah al-Qiyamah:42] he would say: ”Glory be to You, then, why not?” They asked him about it, and he replied: "I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ". Abu Dawud said : Ahmad (b. Hanbal) said: It is pleasing to me that one should recite in the obligatory prayer those supplications which have occurred in the Quran. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 884)   

كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُصَلِّي فَوْقَ بَيْتِهِ فَكَانَ إِذَا قَرَأَ {أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَنْ يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى} [القيامة 40] قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ فَبَلَى فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When one of you recites "By the fig and the olive" (Surah 95) and comes to its end "Is not Allah the best judge?" (verse 8), he should say: "Certainly, and I am one of those who testify to that." When one recites "I swear by the Day of Resurrection" (Surah 75) and comes to "Is not that one able to raise the dead to life? (verse 40), he should say: "Certainly." And when one recites "By those that are sent" (Surah 77), and comes to "Then in what message after that will they believe? " (Surah 50), he should say: "We believe in Allah." The narrator Isma'il (ibn Umayyah) said: I beg to repeat (this tradition) before the Bedouin (who reported this tradition) so that I might see whether he (was mistaken). He said: My nephew, do you think that I did not remember it? I performed sixty hajj (pilgrimages); there is no hajj but I recognize the came on which I performed it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 887)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَرَأَ مِنْكُمْ بِالتِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ فَانْتَهَى إِلَى آخِرِهَا {أَلَيْسَ اللهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ} [التين 8] فَلْيَقُلْ وَأَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ وَمَنْ قَرَأَ {لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ} [القيامة 1] فَانْتَهَى إِلَى {أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَنْ يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى} [القيامة 40] فَلْيَقُلْ بَلَى وَمَنْ قَرَأَ وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ فَبَلَغَ {فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ} [المرسلات 50] فَلْيَقُلْ آمَنَّا بِاللهِ قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ ذَهَبْتُ أُعِيدُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ وَأَنْظُرُ لَعَلَّهُ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي أَتَظُنُّ أَنِّي لَمْ أَحْفَظْهُ لَقَدْ حَجَجْتُ سِتِّينَ حَجَّةً مَا مِنْهَا حَجَّةٌ إِلَّا وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُ الْبَعِيرَ الَّذِي حَجَجْتُ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] I heard Abu Musa reciting on Friday, "Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High." He then said, "Glory be to my Lord, the Most High. Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you?"  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُوسَى يَقْرَأُ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ بِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى وَهَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ  

[Machine] Rather, it is you, O Lord, three times. Then he recited: "Have you seen what you sow? Is it you who cause it to grow, or are We the cause?" [Al-Waqi'ah 63]. He said: Rather, it is you, O Lord, three times. Then he recited: "Have you seen the water that you drink? Do you bring it down from the clouds or are We the bringers?" [Al-Waqi'ah 68]. He said: Rather, it is you, O Lord, three times. Then he recited: "Have you seen the fire that you ignite? Is it you who produced its tree or are We the producers?" He said: Rather, it is you, O Lord, three times.  

بَلْ أَنْتَ يَا رَبِّ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا تَحْرُثُونَ أَأَنْتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الزَّارِعُونَ} [الواقعة 63] قَالَ بَلْ أَنْتَ يَا رَبِّ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ الْمَاءَ الَّذِي تَشْرَبُونَ أَأَنْتُمْ أَنْزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنْزِلُونَ} [الواقعة 68] قَالَ بَلْ أَنْتَ يَا رَبِّ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ النَّارَ الَّتِي تُورُونَ أَأَنْتُمْ أَنْشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَا أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنْشِئُونَ} قَالَ بَلْ أَنْتَ يَا رَبِّ ثَلَاثًا
