وَعَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ
قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يقْرَأ فِي الظُّهْرِ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَتَيْنِ وَفِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ وَيُسْمِعُنَا الْآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا وَيطول فِي الرَّكْعَة الأولى مَا لَا يطول فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَهَكَذَا فِي الْعَصْرِ وَهَكَذَا فِي الصُّبْح
In the first two rakas of the noon prayer the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to recite Umm al-Kitab and two suras, and in the last two rakas Umm al-Kitab, and he would sometimes recite loud enough for them to hear the verse. He would prolong the first raka more than the second; and he acted similarly in the afternoon and the Morning Prayer.
