Hadith 758
Narrated Jabir bin Samura: Sa`d said, "I used to pray with them a prayer similar to that of Allah's Apostle (the prayer of Zuhr and `Asr) reducing nothing from them. I used to prolong the first two rak`at and shorten the last two rak`at." `Umar said to Sa`d "This was what we thought about you."
Hadith 759
حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
شَيْبَانُ ، عَنْ
يَحْيَى ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَتَيْنِ يُطَوِّلُ فِي الْأُولَى وَيُقَصِّرُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ وَيُسْمِعُ الْآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا ، وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْعَصْرِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَتَيْنِ وَكَانَ يُطَوِّلُ فِي الْأُولَى وَكَانَ يُطَوِّلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ وَيُقَصِّرُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ " .
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi Qatada: My father said, "The Prophet in Zuhr prayers used to recite Al-Fatiha along with two other Suras in the first two rak`at: a long one in the first rak`a and a shorter (Sura) in the second, and at times the verses were audible. In the `Asr prayer the Prophet used to recite Al-Fatiha and two more Suras in the first two rak`at and used to prolong the first rak`a. And he used to prolong the first rak`a of the Fajr prayer and shorten the second.

الْأَعْمَشُ ، حَدَّثَنِي
عُمَارَةُ ، عَنْ
أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ ، قَالَ : " سَأَلْنَا
خَبَّابًا أَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قُلْنَا بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كُنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ ، قَالَ : بِاضْطِرَابِ لِحْيَتِهِ " .
Narrated Abu Ma`mar: I asked Khabbab whether the Prophet used to recite the Qur'an in the Zuhr and the `Asr prayers. He replied in the affirmative. We said, "How did you come to know that?" He said, "From the movement of his beard."
