Narrated 'Amr:
Jabir bin 'Abdullah said, "Mu'adh bin Jabal used to pray with the Prophet and then go to lead his
people in prayer Once he led the 'Isha' prayer and recited Surat "Al-Baqra." Somebody left the prayer
and Mu'adh criticized him. The news reached the Prophet and he said to Mu'adh, 'You are putting
the people to trial,' and repeated it thrice (or said something similar) and ordered him to recite two
medium Suras of Mufassal." ('Amr said that he had forgotten the names of those Suras).
