The Apostle of Allah ﷺ led us in the morning prayer in Mecca and began Sarat al-Mu'minin (xxiii ) but when he came to the mention of Moses and Aaron (verse. 45) or to the mention of Jesus (verse 50), a cough got the better of him, and he bowed. 'Abdullah b. Sa'ib was present there, and in the hadith narrated by Abd al-Razzaq (the words are): He cut short (the recitation) and bowed.  

صَلَّى لَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الصُّبْحَ بِمَكَّةَ فَاسْتَفْتَحَ سُورَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَتَّى جَاءَ ذِكْرُ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ أَوْ ذِكْرُ عِيسَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ يَشُكُّ أَوِ اخْتَلَفُوا عَلَيْهِ أَخَذَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَعْلَةٌ فَرَكَعَ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ السَّائِبِ حَاضِرٌ ذَلِكَ وَفِي حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ فَحَذَفَ فَرَكَعَ وَفِي حَدِيثِهِ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَلَمْ يَقُلِ ابْنِ الْعَاصِ  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite in the morning prayer" Wa'l-lail-i-idhd 'As'asa" (ixxxi. 17).  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْفَجْرِ { وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ}  

I said prayer and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led it and he recited" Qaf. (I.). By the Glorious Qur'an," till he recited" and the tall palm trees" (l. 10). I wanted to repeat it but I could not follow its significance.  

صَلَّيْتُ وَصَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَرَأَ { ق وَالْقُرْآنِ الْمَجِيدِ} حَتَّى قَرَأَ { وَالنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَاتٍ} قَالَ فَجَعَلْتُ أُرَدِّدُهَا وَلاَ أَدْرِي مَا قَالَ  

" And the tall palm trees having flower spikes piled one above another" (Al-Qur'an 50:10).  

سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْفَجْرِ { وَالنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَاتٍ لَهَا طَلْعٌ نَضِيدٌ}  

"And the tall palm trees having flower spikes piled one above another (l. 10) or perhaps Surah Qaf."  

أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الصُّبْحَ فَقَرَأَ فِي أَوَّلِ رَكْعَةٍ { وَالنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَاتٍ لَهَا طَلْعٌ نَضِيدٌ} وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ { ق}  

The Apostle of Allah ﷺ used to recite in the morning prayer" Qaf. By the Glorious Quran." and his prayer afterward shortened.  

إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْفَجْرِ بِ { ق وَالْقُرْآنِ الْمَجِيدِ} وَكَانَ صَلاَتُهُ بَعْدُ تَخْفِيفًا  

He (the Holy Prophet) shortened the prayer and he did not pray like these people then, and he informed me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite" Qaf. By the (Glorious) Qur'an," and a passage of similar length.  

عَنْ صَلاَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ كَانَ يُخَفِّفُ الصَّلاَةَ وَلاَ يُصَلِّي صَلاَةَ هَؤُلاَءِ قَالَ وَأَنْبَأَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْفَجْرِ ب { ق وَالْقُرْآنِ} وَنَحْوِهَا  

The Apostle of Allah ﷺ used to recite in the noon prayer:" By the night when it envelopes" (xcii.), and in the afternoon like this, but he prolonged the morning prayer as compared to that (noon and afternoon prayers).  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ بِ { اللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى} وَفِي الْعَصْرِ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ وَفِي الصُّبْحِ أَطْوَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ  

The Apostle of Allah ﷺ used to recite in the noon prayer:" Glorify the name of thy Most High Lord in the morning prayer longer than this" (lxxxvii.)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ بِ { سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى} وَفِي الصُّبْحِ بِأَطْوَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite in the morning prayer from sixty to one hundred verses.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلاَةِ الْغَدَاةِ مِنَ السِّتِّينَ إِلَى الْمِائَةِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite from sixty to one hundred verses in the morning prayer.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْفَجْرِ مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّينَ إِلَى الْمِائَةِ آيَةً  

Umm al-Fadl daughter of al-Harith heard him reciting:" By those sent forth to spread goodness" (lxxvii.). (Upon this) she remarked: O my son, you reminded me by the recitation of this surah (the fact) that it was the last surah that I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he recited it in the evening prayer.  

إِنَّ أُمَّ الْفَضْلِ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ سَمِعَتْهُ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ { وَالْمُرْسَلاَتِ عُرْفًا} فَقَالَتْ يَا بُنَىَّ لَقَدْ ذَكَّرْتَنِي بِقِرَاءَتِكَ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ إِنَّهَا لآخِرُ مَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ بِهَا فِي الْمَغْرِبِ  

" And he did not lead the player after this till his death."  

عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَزَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ صَالِحٍ ثُمَّ مَا صَلَّى بَعْدُ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ reciting Surat al-Tur (Mountain) (lii) in the evening prayer.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ بِالطُّورِ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ  

This hadith has been narrated by Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters.  

عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ
