A man reciting from this surah and that surah

Sa'id bin al-Musayyib said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was reciting part of one surah of the Qur'an and part of another surah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Bilal! I passed by you while you were reciting this surah and this surah mixed together!" Sayyiduna Bilal said: "May my father be sacrificed for you (peace and blessings be upon him), O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I wanted to join the good with the good." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite the surah in its own proper manner."

Abu Ishaq said: Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) was reciting part of one surah joined with part of another surah, and this was mentioned to him. He said: "Why do you think of me that I am mixing the Qur'an with what is not Qur'an?!"

Zayd bin Yuthay' said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him). Then the narrator reported something similar to the hadith of Hatim.

Ibn Awn said: Muhammad (Ibn Sirin) was asked about a person who recites the Qur'an mixing from here and there. He said: "Let him beware of sins; it is a great sin, and he does not even realise it."

Ash'ath said that al-Hasan disliked that two surahs be recited together; rather one should first complete the end of one, and then recite the other.

Al-Walid bin Jumay' said: A man told me that Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) led the people in prayer at al-Hirah and recited from various surahs. Then, having finished the prayer, he turned to us and said: "Jihad has kept us too busy to learn the Qur'an."
