حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ مَعَهَا فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ وَصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ، وَيُسْمِعُنَا الآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا، وَكَانَ يُطِيلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الأُولَى

My father said, “The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to recite Al-Fatiha along with another Sura in the first two rakat of the Zuhr and Asr prayers. A verse or so was audible at times and he used to prolong the first raka.”

আবূ কাতাদাহ্ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত যে, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম যুহর ও আসরের সালাতের প্রথম দু’ রাক‘আতে সূরাহ্ ফাতিহার সাথে আরেকটি সুরা পড়তেন। কখনো কোন কোন আয়াত আমাদের শুনিয়ে পড়তেন এবং তিনি প্রথম রাক‘আতে কিরাআত দীর্ঘ করতেন। (৭৫৯)

ہم سے محمد بن یوسف فریابی نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے امام عبدالرحمٰن اوزاعی نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ مجھ سے یحییٰ بن ابی کثیر نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ مجھ سے عبداللہ بن ابی قتادہ نے بیان کیا، وہ اپنے والد ابوقتادہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ظہر اور عصر کی دو پہلی رکعتوں میں سورۃ فاتحہ اور کوئی اور سورۃ پڑھتے تھے۔

کبھی کبھی آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کوئی آیت ہمیں سنا بھی دیا کرتے تھے۔ پہلی رکعت میں قرآت زیادہ طویل کرتے تھے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Yusuf] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Auza'i] telah menceritakan kepadaku [Yahya bin Abu Katsir] telah menceritakan kepadaku ['Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah] dari [Bapaknya] bahwa Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam membaca Al Fathihah dan dua surah pada dua rakaat pertama dalam shalat Zhuhur dan 'Ashar. Terkadang beliau memperdengarkan (mengeraskan bacaan) ayat yang dibacanya, dan beliau biasa memanjangkannya pada rakaat pertama

Abdullah İbn Ebi Katâde babasının şöyle dediğini nakletmiştir: "Resûlullah öğle ve ikindi namazlarının ilk iki rekatında Fatiha sûresi ile birlikte birer sûre daha okur ve bazen okuduğu âyetleri bize duyururdu. İlk rekatları da daha uzun tutardı." باب: يطول في الركعة الأولى. 110. İLK REK’AT’I DAHA UZUN TUTMAK

What it means

This noble Hadīth indicates that during the prayers with inaudible recitation such as Zhuhr and ‘Asr, one should recite Sūrat al-Fātihah with another Sūrah in the first two Rak‘āhs, and recite Sūrat al-Fātihah only in the last two Rak‘āhs exactly as done in the audible prayers. There is no harm if one raises his voice a little for the purpose of teaching others.
