عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بِنَا فَيَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَتَيْنِ وَيُسْمِعُنَا الْآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا (زَادَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ) وَكَانَ يُطَوِّلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى مِنَ الظُّهْرِ وَيُقَصِّرُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ وَكَذَا فِي الصُّبْحِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to lead us in prayer, and in the first two rak‘ahs of Zuhr and ‘Asr, he would recite Surah Al-Fatihah and two additional surahs, and sometimes he would let us hear a verse. In another narration, it is mentioned: In the latter two rak‘ahs, he would recite only Surah Al-Fatihah, and in the first rak‘ah of Zuhr, he would lengthen the recitation, and in the second, he would shorten it, and he would do the same in the Fajr prayer.
