Hazrat Abu Abdur Rahman says that I have not seen anyone more knowledgeable of the Qur'an than Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He led us in the Fajr prayer and recited Surah Al-Anbiya in it. When he completed seventy verses, he skipped one verse and recited the verse after it. Then when he remembered, he went back and recited it. Then he returned to the place from where he was reciting, when he felt hesitation.

Hazrat Dahhak bin Uthman says that I saw Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz reciting two surahs from the long Mufassal (chapters) in the Fajr prayer.

Hazrat Abu Rafi’ says that Hazrat Umar used to recite one hundred verses of Surah Al-Baqarah in the Fajr prayer, and along with them, he would add a surah from the Mathani or recite something from the beginning of the Mufassal. And if he recited one hundred verses of Surah Aal-e-Imran, he would also add a surah from the Mathani or recite something from the beginning of the Mufassal. The surahs from Surah Al-Hujurat to the end of the Qur’an are called“Mufassal.”There are three types of“Mufassal”: long, medium, and short. The long Mufassal are from Surah Al-Hujurat to Surah Al-Buruj, the medium Mufassal are from Surah At-Tariq to Surah Al-Bayyinah, and the short Mufassal are from Surah Al-Qadr to Surah An-Nas. In the mentioned narration,“from the beginning of the Mufassal”refers to the surahs of the long Mufassal.

Hazrat Husain bin Sabrah says that I have offered prayer behind Hazrat Umar. In the first rak'ah, he recited Surah Yusuf; the second time, he recited Surah An-Najm. Then he performed sajdah, and when he stood up, he recited Surah Az-Zalzalah, then performed ruku.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Shaddad says that during the Fajr prayer, I was in the last rows when I heard the sound of Hazrat Umar weeping; he was reciting this verse {إنَّمَا أَشْکُو بَثِّی وَحُزْنِی إلَی اللہِ }

It is narrated in the same way from Hazrat Alqamah bin Waqas.

Abu Hamzah A'war reports that Ibrahim led us in the Fajr prayer on Friday and recited "Kaf Ha Ya 'Ain Sad" in it.

Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri narrates that we used to estimate the duration of the standing (qiyam) of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the Zuhr and Asr prayers. In the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr, he would recite about thirty verses, and in the last two rak'ahs, he would stand for about half that duration. Similarly, in the first two rak'ahs of Asr, he would stand for the same duration as the last two rak'ahs of Zuhr, and in the last two rak'ahs of Asr, he would stand for about half the duration of the first two rak'ahs.

Hazrat Jabir bin Samurah narrates that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite Surah Al-A'la in the Zuhr prayer and in the Fajr prayer he would recite a surah even longer than that.

Hazrat Jabir bin Samurah narrates that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite Surah At-Tariq and Surah Al-Buruj in the Zuhr and Asr prayers.
