Sahih Muslim Book 4 - Hadith 174-183
Chapter
34: The Recitation for Zuhr and 'Asr.
Abu Qatada reported:
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. (Explaining
Sahih Muslim Book 4 - Hadith 174)
Abu Qatada reported it on the authority of
his father:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
would recite in the first two rak'ahs of the noon and afternoon prayers the
opening chapter of the Book and another surah. He would sometimes recite loud
enough to make audible to us the verse and would recite in the last two rak'ahs
Surat al-Faitiha (only). (Explaining
Sahih Muslim Book 4 - Hadith 175)
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported:
We used to estimate how
long Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood in the noon and afternoon prayers, and we
estimated that he stood in the first two rak'ahs of the noon prayer as long as
it takes to recite Alif Lam Mim, Tanzil, i. e. as-Sajda. We estimated that he
stood half that time in the last two rak'ahs; that he stood in the first two of
the afternoons as long as he did in the last two at noon; and in the last two
of the afternoon prayers about half that time. Abu Bakr in his narration has
made no mention of Alif Lam Mim, Tanzil, but said: As long as it takes to
recite thirty verses. (Explaining
Sahih Muslim Book 4 - Hadith 176)
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported:
The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ)
used to recite in every rak'ah of the first two rak'ahs of the noon prayer
about thirty verses and in the last two about fifteen verses or half (of the
first rak'ah) and in every rak'ah of the 'Asr prayer of the first two rak'ahs
about fifteen verses and in the last two verses half (of the first ones). (Explaining
Sahih Muslim Book 4 - Hadith 177)
Jabir b. Samura reported:
The people of Kufa
complained to Umar b. Khattab about Sa'd and they made a mention of his prayer.
'Umar sent for him. He came to him. He ('Umar) told him that the people had
found fault with his prayer. He said: I lead them in prayer in accordance with
the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I make no decrease in it. I make them
stand for a longer time in the first two (rak'ahs) and shorten it in the last
two. Upon this 'Umar remarked: This is what I deemed of thee, O Abu Ishaq. (Explaining
Sahih Muslim Book 4 - Hadith 178)
This hadith his
been narrated by 'Abu al-Malik with the same chain of transmitters. (Explaining Sahih Muslim
Book 4 - Hadith 179)
Jabir b. Samura reported:
'Umar said to Sa'd: They
complain against you in every matter, even in prayer. He (Sa'd) said: I prolong
(standing) in the first two (rak'ahs) and shorten it in the last two, and I
make no negligence in following the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He
('Umar) remarked: This is what is expected of you, or, that is what I deemed of
you. (Explaining
Sahih Muslim Book 4 - Hadith 180)
This hadith is narrated by Jabir b. Samura
but with the addition of these words:
"(Sa'd said): These Bedouins
presume to teach me prayer." (Explaining
Sahih Muslim Book 4 - Hadith 181)
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported:
The noon prayer would start
and one would go to al-Baqi' and after having relieved himself he would perform
ablution and then come, while the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would be in the first
rak'ah, because he would prolong it so much. (Explaining
Sahih Muslim Book 4 - Hadith 182)
Qaz'a reported:
I came to Abu Sa'id
al-Khudri and he was surrounded by people. When the people departed from him I
said: I am not going to ask you what these people have been asking you. I want
to ask you about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He (Abu Sa'id) said:
There is no good for you in this. He (Qaz'a), however, repeated (his demand).
He then said: The noon prayer would start and one of us would go to Baqi' and,
having relieved himself, would come to his home, then perform ablution and go
to the mosque, and (he would find) The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in the first
rak'ah. (Explaining
