ذِكْرُ إِبَاحَةِ جَمْعِ الْمَرْءِ بَيْنَ السُّورَتَيْنِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ

A man came to Ibn Masʿud and said, "I recited the Mufassal (Suras) at night in one rakʿa." Ibn Masʿud said, "This recitation is (too quick) like the recitation of poetry. I know the identical Suras which the Prophet ﷺ used to recite in pairs." Ibn Masʿud then mentioned 20 Mufassal Suras including two Suras from the family of (i.e. those verses which begin with) Ha, Meem [??] (which the Prophet ﷺ used to recite) in each rakʿa.  

هَذًّا كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ لَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقْرِنُ بَيْنَهُنَّ فَذَكَرَ عِشْرِينَ سُورَةً مِنَ الْمُفَصَّلِ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ  

A person from Banu Bajila who was called Nabik b. Sinan came to Abdullah and said: I recite mufassal surahs in one rak'ah. Upon this 'Abdullah said: (You recite) like the recitation of poetry. I know the manner in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited two surahs in one rak'ah.  

إِنِّي أَقْرَأُ الْمُفَصَّلَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ هَذًّا كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ بِهِنَّ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ  

A person came to 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud and said: I recited all the mufassal surahs in one rak'ah during the night. 'Abdullah said: You must have recited hastily like the recitation of poetry. 'Abdullah said: I remember well the manner in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to combine them, and he then mentioned twenty of the mufassal surahs, and (their combinations in) two in every rak'ah.  

إِنِّي قَرَأْتُ الْمُفَصَّلَ اللَّيْلَةَ كُلَّهُ فِي رَكْعَةٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ هَذًّا كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْرُنُ بَيْنَهُنَّ قَالَ فَذَكَرَ عِشْرِينَ سُورَةً مِنَ الْمُفَصَّلِ سُورَتَيْنِ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ  

"I heard Abu Wa'il say: "A man said in the presence of Abdullah: 'I recited Al-Mufassal in one rak'ah.' He said: 'That is like reciting poetry. I know the similar surahs that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite together.' And he mentioned twenty surahs from Al-Mufassal, two by two in each rak'ah."  

رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَرَأْتُ الْمُفَصَّلَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ قَالَ هَذًّا كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ لَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْرُنُ بَيْنَهُنَّ فَذَكَرَ عِشْرِينَ سُورَةً مِنَ الْمُفَصَّلِ سُورَتَيْنِ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ  

A man came to him and said: "Last night I recited Al-Mufassal in one rak'ah." He said: "That is like reciting poetry. But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite similar surahs, twenty surahs from Al-Mufassal, those that start with Ha-Mim."  

إِنِّي قَرَأْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ الْمُفَصَّلَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ فَقَالَ هَذًّا كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ لَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ النَّظَائِرَ عِشْرِينَ سُورَةً مِنَ الْمُفَصَّلِ مِنْ آلِ حم  

[Machine] I read yesterday in detail in one unit. Abdullah said, "Abdullah spread it out like a spreading of flour and a poem like this?" Indeed, I know the similarities that the Messenger of Allahﷺ used to recite together in two units.  

إِنِّي قَرَأْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ الْمُفَصَّلَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ أَنَثْرًا كَنَثْرِ الدَّقَلِ وَهَذًّا كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ؟ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرُنُ بَيْنَهُنَّ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ  

A person came to 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud and said: I recited all the mufassal surahs in one rak'ah during the night. 'Abdullah said: You must have recited hastily like the recitation of poetry. 'Abdullah said: I remember well the manner in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to combine them, and he then mentioned twenty of the mufassal surahs, and (their combinations in) two in every rak'ah. (Using translation from Muslim 822f)  

إِنِّي قَرَأْتُ الْمُفَصَّلَ كُلَّهُ فِي رَكْعَةٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ هَذًّا كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ؟ لَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرُنُ بَيْنَهُنَّ قَالَ فَذَكَرَ عِشْرِينَ سُورَةً مِنَ الْمُفَصَّلِ سُورَتَيْنِ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ  

[Machine] I read the detailed explanation last night in one unit, and someone said, "Scatter it like the scatter of barley grains, and place it like the placing of poetry?" I have learned the similar verses that the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , used to recite together in one unit, and the wording is from the hadith of Abu 'Ubayd.  

إِنِّي قَرَأْتُ الْمُفَصَّلَ الْبَارِحَةَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ فَقَالَ أَنَثْرٌ كَنَثْرِ الدَّقَلِ وَهذٌّ كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ؟ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرِنُ بَيْنَهُنَّ السُّورَتَيْنِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِحَدِيثِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ  

[Machine] "I read the detailed (passage) tonight in one unit (of prayer), and Abdullah said, 'Like this (poetry)?" I recognized the similar (verses) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite in one unit (of prayer), so he mentioned twenty surahs from the beginning of the (passage) that connect between the two surahs."  

إِنِّي قَرَأْتُ الْمُفَصَّلَ اللَّيْلَةَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ هَذًّا كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ؟ لَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ يَقْرَؤُهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي رَكْعَةٍ فَذَكَرَ عِشْرِينَ سُورَةً مِنْ أَوَّلِ الْمُفَصَّلِ يَقْرِنُ بَيْنَ السُّورَتَيْنِ  

A man came to Ibn Masʿud and said, "I recited the Mufassal (Suras) at night in one rakʿa." Ibn Masʿud said, "This recitation is (too quick) like the recitation of poetry. I know the identical Suras which the Prophet ﷺ used to recite in pairs." Ibn Masʿud then mentioned 20 Mufassal Suras including two Suras from the family of (i.e. those verses which begin with) Ha, Meem [??] (which the Prophet ﷺ used to recite) in each rakʿa. (Using translation from Bukhārī 775)  

«هَذًا كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ؟ لَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرِنُ بَيْنَهُنَّ فَذَكَرَ عِشْرِينَ سُورَةً مِنَ الْمُفَصَّلِ سُورَتَيْنِ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةً»
