Hazrat Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah narrates from his noble father, Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to lead us in the Zuhr and Asr prayers, and in the first two rak‘ahs he would recite Surah Al-Fatihah along with another surah. In the last two rak‘ahs, he would recite only Surah Al-Fatihah. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to make the first rak‘ah long, and sometimes he would let us hear one or two verses.
