Urwah bin Zubair narrates regarding Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that when he heard Marwan reciting Surah Ikhlas and Surah Kawthar, Sayyiduna Zaid said: I swear by the name of Allah that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite the longer of the two long surahs in this prayer, that is, he used to recite Alif Lam Meem Saad (i.e., Surah Al-A'raf).
