My father said, "The Prophet ﷺ in Zuhr prayers used to recite Al-Fatiha along with two other Suras in the first two rakʿat: a long one in the first rakʿa and a shorter (Sura) in the second, and at times the verses were audible. In the ʿAsr prayer the Prophet ﷺ used to recite Al-Fatiha and two more Suras in the first two rakʿat and used to prolong the first rakʿa. And he used to prolong the first rakʿa of the Fajr prayer and shorten the second.

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ مِنْ صَلاَةِ الظُّهْرِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَتَيْنِ يُطَوِّلُ فِي الأُولَى وَيُقَصِّرُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ وَيُسْمِعُ الآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْعَصْرِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَتَيْنِ وَكَانَ يُطَوِّلُ فِي الأُولَى وَكَانَ يُطَوِّلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الأُولَى مِنْ صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ وَيُقَصِّرُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ

My father said, "The Prophet ﷺ used to recite Al-Fatiha along with another Sura in the first two rakʿat of the Zuhr and the ʿAsr prayers and at times a verse or so was audible to us."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer and recited in the first two rak'ahs of the noon and afternoon prayers Surat al-Fitiha and two (other) surahs. And he would sometimes recite loud enough for us the verses. He would prolong the first rak'ah more than the second. And he acted similarly in the morning prayer.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي بِنَا فَيَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَتَيْنِ وَيُسْمِعُنَا الآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا وَكَانَ يُطَوِّلُ الرَّكْعَةَ الأُولَى مِنَ الظُّهْرِ وَيُقَصِّرُ الثَّانِيَةَ وَكَذَلِكَ فِي الصُّبْحِ

«كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَهَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ»

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite the Umm Al-Quran and two surahs in the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr and 'Asr, and in the last two with Umm Al-Quran, and he would make us hear a verse sometimes, and he used to make the first rak'ah lengthy." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 977)

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَسُورَتَيْنِ وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَكَانَ يُسْمِعُنَا الْآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا وَكَانَ يُطِيلُ أَوَّلَ رَكْعَةٍ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ»

The apostle of Allah ﷺ used to lead us in prayer and recite in the first two rak’ahs of the noon prayers Fatihat al-kitab and two surahs, and he would sometimes recite loud enough for us to hear the verse. He would prolong the first rak’ah of the noon prayer and shorten the second; and he did so in the morning prayer. Abu Dawud said: Musaddad did not mention the words fatihat al-kitab and surah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 798)

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَتَيْنِ وَيُسْمِعُنَا الْآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا وَكَانَ يُطِيلُ الرَّكْعَةَ الْأُولَى مِنَ الظُّهْرِ وَيُقَصِّرُ الثَّانِيَةَ وَكَذَلِكَ فِي الصُّبْحِ»

“We used to recite the Opening of the Book and a Surah behind the Imam in the first two Rak’ah of the Zuhr and the ‘Asr, and in the last wo Rak’ah (we would recite) the Opening of the Book.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 843)

كُنَّا نَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَمِنْهُمْ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ ؓ

[AI] Abdullah ibn Mughaffal al-Muzani, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , taught us to recite behind the imam in Dhuhr and Asr prayers in the first two rakahs with the opening chapter of the Quran and another chapter, and in the last two rakahs with the opening chapter of the Quran only. Sa'id ibn 'Amir narrated this from Shu'bah, and among them is Aisha, the daughter of Siddiq, and from her father.

عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُغَفَّلٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُعَلِّمُنَا أَنْ نَقْرَأَ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ تَابَعَهُ سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ وَمِنْهُمْ عَائِشَةُ الصِّدِّيقَةُ بِنْتُ الصِّدِّيقِ ؓ وَعَنْ أَبِيهَا

[AI] Hurayrah and Aisha reported that they used to recite behind the imam during Dhuhr and Asr prayers, as well as in the first two units of the prayer with the opening chapter of the Quran and some other verses. Aisha used to recite in the last two units with the opening chapter of the Quran. This was narrated from Imran ibn Husayn and also narrated from a group of the companions.

هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَائِشَةَ أَنَّهُمَا كَانَا يَأْمُرَانِ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَفِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَكَانتْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ تَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ جِمَاعَةٍ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ

“We used to recite the Opening of the Book and a Surah behind the Imam in the first two Rak’ah of the Zuhr and the ‘Asr, and in the last wo Rak’ah (we would recite) the Opening of the Book.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 843)

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ اقْرَأْ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ used to recite in the first two units of the noon and afternoon prayers, and he would sometimes make us hear a verse. He would also lengthen the first unit and shorten the second unit. And he would recite in the two units of the evening prayer.

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَيُسْمِعُنَا الْآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا وَيُطِيلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى وَيُقَصِّرُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ

"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأمُرُ أَنْ يُقْرَأَ فِى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْن بِسُوَرةٍ، وَفِى الأُخْرَيَيْن بِفَاتِحَةِ الكِتَابِ إِذَا كانَ الرَّجُلُ خَلْفَ الإِمَامِ".

" عن جابر قال: يقرأ من الركعتين الأوليين بفاتحة الكتاب وسورة، وفى الأخريين بفاتحة الكتاب، وكنا نتحدث أنه لا صلاة إلا بقراءة فاتحة الكتاب فما زاد ".

" عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَقْرَأُ فِى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ بِفَاتحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ، وَفِى الآخِرَتَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ ".
