Bayhaqi 4689 — One who held it recommended to bow and prostrate much

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، أنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، نا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَفِيهِ: فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: " كُلُّ الْقُرْآنِ أَحْصَيْتُ غَيْرَ هَذَا قَالَ: إِنِّي لَأَقْرَأُ الْمُفَصَّلَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: " هَذٌّ كَهَذِّ الشَّعْرِ، إِنَّ قَوْمًا يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ، وَلَكِنْ إِذَا وَقَعَ فِي الْقَلْبِ فَرَسَخَ فِيهِ نَفَعَ، إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الصَّلَاةِ الرُّكُوعُ وَالسُّجُودُ، وَإِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ بِهِنَّ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ ". ثُمَّ قَامَ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلْقَمَةُ فِي إِثْرِهِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَقَالَ: قَدْ أَخْبَرَنِي بِهَا ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ.
Abu Wa'il (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Have you understood the whole Qur'an except this? He said: I recite the Mufassal surahs in a single rak'ah. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: That is like reciting poetry. "People will recite the Qur'an and it will not pass beyond their throats." But when it settles in the heart, it becomes firmly rooted in the heart and also benefits, for "the best prayer is the one with much bowing and prostration." I know the similar surahs of which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite two in each rak'ah. Then Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) left. After him Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) went in; then we went to him, and he said: He has informed me about them.
