[Machine] He heard Abu Hurairah say, "I have not seen anyone who prayed more similar to the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than so-and-so, the leader who was in Medina." Sulaiman said, "I prayed behind him and he would prolong the first two rakahs of Dhuhr prayer and shorten the last two rakahs, and he would shorten the Asr prayer. He would recite the detailed recitation in the first two rakahs of Maghrib prayer, and the middle recitation in the first two rakahs of Isha prayer, and the longer recitation in Fajr prayer."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ يَقُولُ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَشْبَهَ صَلَاةً بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ فُلَانٍ لِأَمِيرِ كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ فَصَلَّيْتُ أَنَا وَرَاءَهُ فَكَانَ يُطِيلُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ وَيُخَفِّفُ الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ وَيُخَفِّفُ الْعَصْرَ وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ بِقِصَارِ الْمُفَصَّلِ وَفِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الْعِشَاءِ بِوَسَطِ الْمُفَصَّلِ وَفِي الصُّبْحِ بِطِوَالِ الْمُفَصَّلِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to recite in the Maghrib prayer on the night of Friday the Surah "Say, 'O disbelievers'" and "Say, 'He is Allah, [who is] One.'" This was reported by Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz, who narrated from Ahmad ibn Salman al-Faqih, who narrated from Abu Qilabah al-Raqashi, who narrated from his father, who narrated from Saeed ibn Simek ibn Harb, who narrated from his father, who narrated from Jabir ibn Samurah.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ قُلْ يَأَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَقُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ أَنْبَأَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ الْفَقِيهُ ثنا أَبُو قِلَابَةَ الرَّقَاشِيُّ ثنا أَبِي ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ بِذَلِكَ  

[Machine] He arrived in the city during the caliphate of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq and prayed behind him the Maghrib prayer. Abu Bakr recited in the first two units from the mother of the Quran and a short surah. Then, in the third unit, he stood up and I approached him until my clothes were almost touching his clothes. I heard him recite from the mother of the Quran and this verse, "Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower" [Al-Imran 8].  

أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فِي خِلَافَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ؓ فَصَلَّى وَرَاءَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ الْمَغْرِبَ فَقَرَأَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَسُورَةٍ مِنْ قِصَارِ الْمُفَصَّلِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ قَالَ فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى إِنَّ ثِيَابِي تَكَادُ أَنْ تَمَسَّ ثِيَابَهُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ قَرَأَ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ} [آل عمران 8]  

He is Allah, the One” (Surah 112). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 815)   

أَنَّهُ صَلَّى خَلْفَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ الْمَغْرِبَ فَقَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ  

This indicates that those (traditions indicating long surahs) are abrogated, and this is more sound tradition. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 813)   

أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ بِنَحْوٍ مِمَّا يَقْرَءُونَ وَالْعَادِيَاتِ وَنَحْوِهَا مِنَ السُّوَرِ
