26 Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Ubayd, the mawla of Sulayman ibn Abd alMalik, from Ubada ibn Nusayy from Qays ibn al Harith that Abu Abdullah as-Sunabihi said, "I arrived in Madina in the khalifate of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, and I prayed maghrib behind him. He recited the umm al Qur'an and two suras from the shorter ones of the mufassal in the first two rakas. Then he stood up in the third and I drew so near to him that my clothes were almost touching his clothes. I heard him reciting the umm al-Qur'an and this ayat, 'Our Lord, do not make our hearts go astray after You have guided us, and give us mercy from Your presence. Surely You are the Giver. ' " (Sura 3 ayat 8)  

قَالَ قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فِي خِلاَفَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ فَصَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءَهُ الْمَغْرِبَ فَقَرَأَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَسُورَةٍ سُورَةٍ مِنْ قِصَارِ الْمُفَصَّلِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى إِنَّ ثِيَابِي لَتَكَادُ أَنْ تَمَسَّ ثِيَابَهُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ قَرَأَ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَبِهَذِهِ الآيَةِ رَبَّنَا لاَ تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ  

[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]  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, blessings and ﷺ , used to recite Umm Al-Quran (Surah Al-Fatiha) and two other surahs along with it in the first two units of the Dhuhr prayer and the Asr prayer. Sometimes, he would also recite a verse out loud. He would also extend the first unit of the prayer.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَسُورَتَيْنِ مَعَهَا فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ وَصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ وَيُسْمِعُنَا الْآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا وَكَانَ يُطِيلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى  

"عَنْ أَبِى عَبْدِ الله الصُّنَابِحىَّ أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فِى خِلَافَةِ أَبِى بَكْرٍ الصَّديق، فَصَلَّى وَراءَ أَبِى بَكْرٍ الصَّدَّيقِ الْمَغْرِبَ، فَقَرَأَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ بِأُمَّ الْقرْآنِ وَسُورَةٍ مِنْ قِصَارِ الْمُفَصَّلِ، ثُمَّ قَرَأ فِى الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ بِأُمَّ الْقُرْآنِ وَبِهِذِهِ الآيَةِ: {رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ}.
