My father said, "The Prophet ﷺ uses to recite Al-Fatiha followed by another Sura in the first two rakʿat of the prayer and used to recite only Al-Fatiha in the last two rakʿat of the Zuhr prayer. Sometimes a verse or so was audible and he used to prolong the first rakʿa more than the second and used to do the same in the ʿAsr and Fajr prayers."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ فِي الأُولَيَيْنِ بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَتَيْنِ وَفِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ وَيُسْمِعُنَا الآيَةَ وَيُطَوِّلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الأُولَى مَا لاَ يُطَوِّلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَهَكَذَا فِي الْعَصْرِ وَهَكَذَا فِي الصُّبْحِ
