Musnad Ahmad 3958 — Musnad of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ ، عَنْ نَهِيكِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ السُّلَمِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ أَتَى عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَقَالَ : قَرَأْتُ الْمُفَصَّلَ اللَّيْلَةَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ ، فَقَالَ : هَذًّا مِثْلَ هَذِّ الشِّعْرِ ، أَوْ نَثْرًا مِثْلَ نَثْرِ الدَّقَلِ ؟ إِنَّمَا فُصِّلَ لِتُفَصِّلُوا ، لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يَقْرُنُ ، عِشْرِينَ سُورَةً : الرَّحْمَنُ وَالنَّجْمُ ، عَلَى تَأْلِيفِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، كُلُّ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ ، وَذَكَرَ الدُّخَانَ ، وَعَمَّ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ " .
Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once a man from Banu Bajilah—whose name was Nahik bin Sinan—came to the service of Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "I recite the Mufassalat (short surahs) in one rak'ah." Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Like inferior poetry? Or like low-quality prose? Whereas they have been called Mufassalat for this very reason so that you may recite them separately. I also know examples where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited two surahs in one rak'ah." And by this, the first twenty surahs of the Mufassalat according to the compilation of Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) are meant, which include Surah Rahman and Surah Najm—these two surahs in one rak'ah, and in another rak'ah, Surah Dukhan and Surah Naba.
