2. Book of Ṣalāh
٢۔ كِتَابُ الصَّلَاةِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray with about thirty verses in the first two units of the noon prayer and in the last two units, he would recite about half of that. In the afternoon prayer, he would recite about two units' worth of verses from the noon prayer and in the last two units, he would recite about half of that.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ «يَقُومُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ قَدْرَ ثَلَاثِينَ آيَةً وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ عَلَى قَدْرِ النِّصْفِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَفِي الْعَصْرِ عَلَى قَدْرِ الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ عَلَى قَدْرِ النِّصْفِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ»
[Machine] Narrated by Abu Sa'id, He added to it the measure of reading {Alif-Lam-Meem Tanzeel} [Surah As-Sajdah:2] in the Sajdah.
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ بِنَحْوِهِ وَزَادَ فِيهِ قَدْرَ قِرَاءَةِ {الم تَنْزِيلُ} [السجدة 2] السَّجْدَةِ
The Prophet ﷺ used to recite "By the heaven holding the big stars" and: "By the heaven, and At-Tariq (the night-comer, i.e. the bright star)" and similar surahs in Zuhr and 'Asr. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 979)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ «يَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ بِ السَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ»
