. (Second chain) A man came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: I have recited the Mufassal surahs in one rak'ah. He said: Then you must have recited quickly like the recitation of poetry or like scattering inferior dates. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not recite like you have recited. He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite similar surahs (two at a time) in one rak'ah, for example, Surah Rahman and Surah Najm in one rak'ah. Then Abu Ishaq mentioned ten rak'ahs with twenty surahs; this arrangement was according to the compilation of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). The last surahs were Surah Takweer and Surah Dukhan.
