Volume 1, Book 12, Number 752:
Narrated Abu Salama:
When Abu Huraira led us in prayer he used to say Takbir on each bowing and rising. On the com –
pletion of the prayer he used to say, “My prayer is more similar to the prayer of Allah’s Apostle than
that of anyone of you.”
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 739:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Qur’an is recited in every prayer and in those prayers in which Allah’s Apostle recited aloud
for us, we recite aloud in the same prayers for you; and the prayers in which the Prophet recited
quietly, we recite quietly. If you recite “Al-Fatiha” only it is sufficient but if you recite something else
in addition, it is better.
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 740:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
The Prophet set out with the intention of going to Suq ‘Ukaz (market of ‘Ukaz) along with some of
his companions. At the same time, a barrier was put between the devils and the news of heaven. Fire
commenced to be thrown at them. The Devils went to their people, who asked them, “What is wrong
with you?” They said, “A barrier has been placed between us and the news of heaven. And fire has
been thrown at us.” They said, “The thing which has put a barrier between you and the news of
heaven must be something which has happened recently. Go eastward and westward and see what
has put a barrier between you and the news of heaven.” Those who went towards Tuhama came
across the Prophet at a place called Nakhla and it was on the way to Suq ‘Ukaz and the Prophet was
offering the Fajr prayer with his companions. When they heard the Qur’an they listened to it and
said, “By Allah, this is the thing which has put a barrier between us and the news of heaven.” They
went to their people and said, “O our people; verily we have heard a wonderful recital (Qur’an)
which shows the true path; we believed in it and would not ascribe partners to our Lord.” Allah re –
vealed the following verses to his Prophet (Sura ‘Jinn’) (72): “Say: It has been revealed to me.” And
what was revealed to him was the conversation of the Jinns.

Narrated Abu Wa’il:
A man came to Ibn Mas’ud and said, “I recited the Mufassal (Suras) at night in one Rak’a.” Ibn
Mas’ud said, “This recitation is (too quick) like the recitation of poetry. I know the identical Suras
which the Prophet used to recite in pairs.” Ibn Mas’ud then mentioned 20 Mufassal Suras including
two Suras from the family of (i.e. those verses which begin with) AL, HA, MIM (which the Prophet
used to recite) in each Rak’a.
