Hadith 1626
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَبَهْزٌ قَالَا ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ بَعْضَ إِخْوَتِي يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي فِدَاءِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَالَ بَهْزٌ فِي فِدَاءِ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَمَا أَسْلَمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ، قَالَ فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِالطُّورِ قَالَ فَكَأَنَّمَا صُدِعَ قَلْبِي حَيْثُ سَمِعْتُ الْقُرْآنَ، وَقَالَ بَهْزٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا صُدِعَ قَلْبِي حِينَ سَمِعْتُ الْقُرْآنَ
Sayyiduna Jubair bin Mut’im (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the (prisoner) polytheists of Badr, at that time he was not a Muslim. He says: When I reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he was leading the Maghrib prayer and reciting Surah At-Tur in it. Listening to this Qur’an, I felt as if my heart was about to burst.
Hadith 1627
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيجٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ مَرْوَانَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ لَهُ: مَا لِي أَرَاكَ تَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِقِصَارِ السُّوَرِ، قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِطُولَي الطُّولَيَيْنِ، قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ قُلْتُ لِعُرْوَةَ) مَا طُولَا الطُّولَيَيْنِ؟ قَالَ الْأَعْرَافُ
Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Marwan: What is the reason that I hear you reciting only short surahs in the Maghrib prayer? I saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite one of the two long surahs in this prayer. Ibn Abi Mulaykah says: I asked 'Urwah: What is meant by one of the two long surahs? He said: That is Surah Al-A'raf.
Hadith 1628
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ أَوْ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَرَأَ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِالْأَعْرَافِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub or Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) recited Surah Al-A'raf in the two rak'ahs of Maghrib.
Hadith 1629
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ أُمَّ الْفَضْلِ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ سَمِعَتْهُ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ {وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا} فَقَالَتْ: يَا بُنَيَّ! لَقَدْ ذَكَّرْتَنِي بِقِرَاءَتِكَ هَٰذِهِ السُّورَةَ، إِنَّهَا آخِرُ مَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ بِهَا فِي الْمَغْرِبِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: Sayyida Umm Fadl bint Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) heard me reciting Surah Al-Mursalat and said: O my dear son! By reciting this Surah, you have reminded me (of this matter) that this is the last Surah which I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) reciting in the Maghrib prayer.
Hadith 1630
عَنْ أُمِّ الْفَضْلِ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِهِ مُتَوَشِّحًا فِي ثَوْبٍ الْمَغْرِبَ فَقَرَأَ الْمُرْسَلَاتِ، مَا صَلَّى بَعْدَهَا حَتَّى قُبِضَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Sayyida Umm Fadl bint Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) led us in the Maghrib prayer in his house, wrapped in a cloth, and recited Surah Al-Mursalat. After that, he did not perform any prayer until he passed away.
Hadith 1631
عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ السُّدُوسِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعِكْرِمَةَ: إِنِّي أَقْرَأُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ بِـ {قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ} وَ {قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ}، وَإِنَّ نَاسًا يَعِيبُونَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ، فَقَالَ: وَمَا بَأْسٌ بِذَلِكَ، اقْرَأْهُمَا فَإِنَّهُمَا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَاءَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِيهِمَا إِلَّا بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ
Hanzalah Sudusi says: I said to Ikrimah that I recite Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Naas in the Maghrib prayer, but people find fault with me for this. He said: There is no harm in this, you can recite them, because they are from the Qur'an. Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) even narrated this hadith to me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came and prayed two rak'ahs and in them he recited only Surah Al-Fatihah.
Hadith 1632
عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عِمْرَانَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ يَقُولُ: تَعَلَّقْتُ بِقَدَمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَقْرِئْنِي سُورَةَ هُودٍ وَسُورَةَ يُوسُفَ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((يَا عُقْبَةُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ! لَمْ تُقْرَأْ سُورَةٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلَا أَبْلَغُ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ {قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ} قَالَ يَزِيدُ: لَمْ يَكُنْ أَبُو عِمْرَانَ يَدَعُهَا، وَكَانَ لَا يَزَالُ يَقْرَأُهَا فِي صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ))
Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I clung to the footsteps of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Teach me Surah Hud and Surah Yusuf. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: O Uqbah bin Amir! No surah has been recited that is more beloved to Allah Almighty and more eloquent, except Surah al-Falaq. (After hearing this hadith) Abu Imran never left this surah and would always recite it in the Maghrib prayer.
