(Second chain of narration) He said: I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and I heard him reciting these verses: {لاَ أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ۔ الْجَوَارِ الْکُنَّسِ}

Umm Hisham bint Harithah bin Nu'man (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I did not memorize Surah Qaf except while standing behind the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite it in the Fajr prayer.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to be moderate, and the prayer of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was also like that, until Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came, and he lengthened the standing (qiyam) in the Fajr prayer.

Simak bin Harb says: I asked Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) about the prayer of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite Surah Qaf and similar surahs in the Fajr prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The prayers that you perform today, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also used to perform prayers in the same manner, except that he would lighten them; his (peace and blessings be upon him) prayer was lighter compared to your prayer, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite Surah Al-Waqi'ah and similar surahs in the Fajr prayer.
