اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ ، قَالَ : " قَرَأَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ بِالْمُؤْمِنُونَ فَلَمَّا أَتَى عَلَى ذِكْرِ عِيسَى أَصَابَتْهُ شَرْقَةٌ ، فَرَكَعَ " ، يَعْنِي : سَعْلَةً .
´It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Sa’ib said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited Al-Mu’minun [Al-Mu’minun 23] in the Subh prayer, and when he came to the mention of ‘Eisa, he was overcome with a cough, so he bowed in Ruku’.”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ The mention of Isa (alayhis salam) occurs in Surah Al-Mu’minun, verse (50), where three rukus are completed. It appears that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) wished to continue reciting, but due to coughing, he ended the recitation. This also supports Hadith 818, in which the recitation of sixty to one hundred verses is mentioned.
➋ This narration also proves that it is not obligatory to recite an entire surah in prayer.
➌ If, during the recitation, the imam faces such an impediment that continuing the recitation becomes difficult, he should end the recitation and proceed to bowing (ruku’).

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
This hadith establishes that, in case of necessity, it is permissible to interrupt the recitation (qira’ah) in the middle, and it is not obligatory to complete the surah.
According to Imam Nawawi rahimahullah, without necessity, not completing the surah is permissible according to the majority (jumhur), but it is contrary to what is preferable (khilaf awla), meaning it is better to complete the surah. The well-known opinion of Imam Malik rahimahullah is that interrupting the recitation in the middle is disliked (makruh).
