Hadith 817

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ أَصْبَغَ مَوْلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ ، قَالَ : " صَلَّيْنا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَانَ " يَقْرَأُ فِي الْفَجْرِ فكَأَنِّي أَسْمَعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ : فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ ، الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ " .
´It was narrated that ‘Amr bin Huraith said:` “I performed prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ) when he was reciting in the Fajr, and it is as if I can hear him reciting: ‘So verily, I swear by the planets that recede. And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves.’”[81:15-16]

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
952. Commentary: It is Sunnah to occasionally recite this surah in the morning prayer. This surah presents a complete depiction of the terrifying scenes of the Day of Judgment. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Surah Hud, Surah Waqi'ah, and «﴿إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ﴾» have made me old." [جامع الترمذي ، تفسیر القرآن ، حدیث : 3297]

Benefit:
This hadith proves that in the Fajr prayer, one should recite different surahs at different times—sometimes longer surahs and sometimes shorter ones. The imam should lead the congregation according to the situation and circumstances.
