[Machine] Ibn Mas'ood led us in the night prayer, and he started with Surah Al-Anfal until he reached the verse "What an excellent protector and what an excellent helper" and then he bowed. Then, in the second unit, he recited two separate Surahs.  

الطبراني:٩٣٠٨حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ

صَلَّى بِنَا ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ فَاسْتَفْتَحَ بِسُورَةِ الْأَنْفَالِ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ {نِعْمَ الْمَوْلَى وَنِعْمَ النَّصِيرُ} رَكَعَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ بِسُورَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُفَصَّلِ
