Zaid bin Thabit said to me, "Why do you recite very short Suras in the Maghrib prayer while I heard the Prophet ﷺ reciting the longer of the two long Suras?"

البخاري:٧٦٤ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ قَالَ قَالَ لِي زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ مَا لَكَ تَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِقِصَارٍ وَقَدْ

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ بِطُولِ الطُّولَيَيْنِ

«سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِأَطْوَلِ الطَّوِيلتَيْنِ»
