[Machine] Abdullah ibn Mughaffal al-Muzani, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , taught us to recite behind the imam in Dhuhr and Asr prayers in the first two rakahs with the opening chapter of the Quran and another chapter, and in the last two rakahs with the opening chapter of the Quran only. Sa'id ibn 'Amir narrated this from Shu'bah, and among them is Aisha, the daughter of Siddiq, and from her father.
