Musnad Abi Ya'la 1292 — We used to estimate the length of the standing
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الصِّدِّيقِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ : « كُنَّا نَحْزِرُ قِيَامَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ ، فَحَزَرْنَا قِيَامَهُ فِي الظُّهْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ كَقَدْرِ قِرَاءَةِ ثَلَاثِينَ آيَةً - كَقَدْرِ قِرَاءَةِ : الم تَنْـزِيلُ السَّجْدَةِ . وَفِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ . وَحَزَرْنَا قِيَامَهُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الْعَصْرِ عَلَى قَدْرِ الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ ، وَالْأُخْرَيَيْنِ مِنَ الْعَصْرِ عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him): "We used to estimate the length of the standing of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Zuhr and Asr prayers. We estimated his (peace and blessings be upon him) standing in the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr as equal to the recitation of thirty (30) verses, about the length of reciting Surah Alif Lam Mim Tanzil al-Sajdah, and in the last two rak'ahs as half of that. We also found the length of his (peace and blessings be upon him) standing in the first two rak'ahs of Asr to be equal to the length of the last two rak'ahs of Zuhr, and estimated the last two rak'ahs of Asr as half of that."
