Sulayman bin Yasar said that he heard Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) say: I have not seen anyone whose prayer more closely resembled the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) than so-and-so, the governor of Madinah. Sulayman said: I prayed behind that man, and he would lengthen the recitation in the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr and keep it light in the last two, he would make the Asr prayer light, in the first two rak'ahs of Maghrib he would recite from the short surahs of the Mufassal, in the first two rak'ahs of Isha from the middle surahs of the Mufassal, and in the morning prayer from the long surahs of the Mufassal.
