[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.  

الطبراني:٩٨٦٠ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ أنا أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ قَالَا ثنا هُشَيْمٌ ثنا سَيَّارٌ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ

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

muslim:822e – ʿAbd b. Ḥumayd

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.  

مسلم:٨٢٢e – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجُعْفِيُّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي بَجِيلَةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ نَهِيكُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ

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

[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.  

أحمد:٤٠٦٢ – حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا سَيَّارٌ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ

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  

ahmad:4154 – Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > ʿAmr b. Murrah > Abū Wāʾil > a man Jāʾ > Ibn Masʿūd

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)  

أحمد:٤١٥٤ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا وَائِلٍ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ

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

"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." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1005)   

ابن حبّان:١٨١٣ – أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الدَّوْرَقِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا وَائِلٍ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ

إِنِّي قَرَأْتُ الْمُفَصَّلَ اللَّيْلَةَ كُلَّهُ فِي رَكْعَةٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ «هَذَا كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ لَقَدْ عَرَفْنَا النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْرِنُ بِهِنَّ فَذَكَرَ عِشْرِينَ سُورَةً مِنَ الْمُفَصَّلِ سُورَتَيْنِ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ»
