989. Commentary:

➊ It is possible that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) recited this surah in both rak‘ahs, as in the next chapter regarding Surah Al-A‘raf, where he divided Surah Al-A‘raf between the two rak‘ahs of Maghrib. And it is also possible that he recited the entire surah in a single rak‘ah. And Allah knows best.

➋ Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah has declared the mentioned narration to be weak in its chain of transmission, but he has not clarified the nature of the weakness. However, it appears more correct that the mentioned hadith is authentic. And Allah knows best. For further details, see: [ذخیرة العقبیٰ ، شرح سنن النسائي : 275-271/12]
