[Machine] O Imran, you are indeed foolish! Did you not find in the Quran that you should offer four units of prayer at Dhuhr and four units at Asr, without reciting aloud in any of them? And three units at Maghrib, with recitation aloud in the first two units and without recitation aloud in the third unit? And four units at Isha, with recitation aloud in the first two units and without recitation aloud in the last two units? And two units at Fajr, with recitation aloud in both units.  

البيهقي:٣٠٦٩أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الرَّمَادِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أنبأ مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ؓ فَكُنَّا نَتَذَاكَرُ الْعِلْمَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لَا تَتَحَدَّثُوا إِلَّا بِمَا فِي الْقُرْآنِ فَقَالَ

لَهُ عِمْرَانُ إِنَّكَ لَأَحْمَقُ أَوَجَدْتَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ صَلُّوا الظُّهْرَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَالْعَصْرَ أَرْبَعًا لَا تَجْهَرُ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْهَا وَالْمَغْرِبَ ثَلَاثًا تَجْهَرُ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْهَا وَلَا تَجْهَرُ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ وَالْعِشَاءَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ تَجْهَرُ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْهَا وَلَا تَجْهَرُ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَالْفَجْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَجْهَرُ فِيهِمَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ
