It is narrated from Hazrat Urwah bin Zubair that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) led the morning prayer and recited Surah Al-Baqarah in the two rak'ahs.

Hazrat Urwah bin Zubair heard from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amir bin Rabi’ah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: We prayed behind Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) the morning prayer, and he recited Surah Yusuf and Surah Hajj slowly and distinctly. Hazrat Urwah said: By Allah! At that time, they must have been standing for prayer when true dawn appeared. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes.

It is narrated from Qasim bin Muhammad that Faraafisah bin Umair Hanafi said: I memorized Surah Yusuf by listening to the recitation of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him); he (may Allah be pleased with him) used to recite it often in the Fajr prayer.

It is narrated from Hazrat Nafi that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to recite Surah Al-Fatihah and one surah from the first ten surahs of the Mufassal in each rak'ah while traveling.
