“We used to recite the Opening of the Book and a Surah behind the Imam in the first two Rak’ah of the Zuhr and the ‘Asr, and in the last wo Rak’ah (we would recite) the Opening of the Book.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 843)
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ اقْرَأْ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would recite in the first two rak'ahs of the noon and afternoon prayers the opening chapter of the Book and another surah. He would sometimes recite loud enough to make audible to us the verse and would recite in the last two rak'ahs Surat al-Faitiha (only).
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ وَيُسْمِعُنَا الآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ
“We used to recite the Opening of the Book and a Surah behind the Imam in the first two Rak’ah of the Zuhr and the ‘Asr, and in the last wo Rak’ah (we would recite) the Opening of the Book.”
كُنَّا نَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ خَلْفَ الإِمَامِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ وَفِي الأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ
[Machine] Narrated by Abu Qatadah al-Faris, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite Al-Fatiha and a surah in the first two units of Dhuhr and Asr prayers, and he would recite Al-Fatiha only in the last two units.
عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ فَارِسِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ بِ فَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ وَفِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِ فَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ

«أَنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ»

[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.
عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُغَفَّلٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُعَلِّمُنَا أَنْ نَقْرَأَ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ تَابَعَهُ سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ وَمِنْهُمْ عَائِشَةُ الصِّدِّيقَةُ بِنْتُ الصِّدِّيقِ ؓ وَعَنْ أَبِيهَا
[Machine] Hurayrah and Aisha reported that they used to recite behind the imam during Dhuhr and Asr prayers, as well as in the first two units of the prayer with the opening chapter of the Quran and some other verses. Aisha used to recite in the last two units with the opening chapter of the Quran. This was narrated from Imran ibn Husayn and also narrated from a group of the companions.
هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَائِشَةَ أَنَّهُمَا كَانَا يَأْمُرَانِ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَفِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَكَانتْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ تَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ جِمَاعَةٍ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ
"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأمُرُ أَنْ يُقْرَأَ فِى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْن بِسُوَرةٍ، وَفِى الأُخْرَيَيْن بِفَاتِحَةِ الكِتَابِ إِذَا كانَ الرَّجُلُ خَلْفَ الإِمَامِ".
" عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَقْرَأُ فِى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ بِفَاتحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ، وَفِى الآخِرَتَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ ".
" إِنَّ النبِىَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرأُ في الركعَتين الأُولَيينِ بِفَاتِحةِ الْكِتابِ وسورة، والأُخريينْ بِفَاتِحة الكِتَابِ".
