Recitation in the Fajr prayer

Simak bin Harb reports from a man from among the people of Madinah that he prayed behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reciting Surah Qaf (Qaf. By the glorious Qur'an) in the Fajr prayer.

The narrators of the narration about Surah Ya-Sin are the narrators of the Sahih, and the narration about Surah al-Waqi'ah contains a narrator, Ya'qub bin Humayd bin Kasib, whom a group declared da'if (weak); some said the reason for this is that the prescribed punishment (hadd) had been carried out on him.
