بَابُ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِRecitation in Maghrib and Isha
Hadith 172
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ " كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى وَحْدَهُ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْأَرْبَعِ جَمِيعًا فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَسُورَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ، وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ أَحْيَانًا بِالسُّورَتَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْفَرِيضَةِ ، وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ كَذَلِكَ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَسُورَةٍ سُورَةٍ "
It is narrated from Hazrat Nafi that when Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to pray alone, he would recite Surah Al-Fatihah and one Surah in each of the four rak'ahs, and sometimes he would recite two or three Surahs in a single rak'ah in the obligatory prayer, and in the Maghrib prayer he would recite Al-Fatihah and a Surah in two rak'ahs.
