Sahih Muslim

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قَوْله لَا تُحَرِّکْ بِهِ لِسَانَکَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ قَالَ کَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعَالِجُ مِنْ التَّنْزِيلِ شِدَّةً کَانَ يُحَرِّکُ شَفَتَيْهِ فَقَالَ لِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَا أُحَرِّکُهُمَا کَمَا کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحَرِّکُهُمَا فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ أَنَا أُحَرِّکُهُمَا کَمَا کَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يُحَرِّکُهُمَا فَحَرَّکَ شَفَتَيْهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَی لَا تُحَرِّکْ بِهِ لِسَانَکَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ قَالَ جَمْعَهُ فِي صَدْرِکَ ثُمَّ تَقْرَؤُهُ فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ قَالَ فَاسْتَمِعْ وَأَنْصِتْ ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ تَقْرَأَهُ قَالَ فَکَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ اسْتَمَعَ فَإِذَا انْطَلَقَ جِبْرِيلُ قَرَأَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَمَا أَقْرَأَهُ

Ibn 'Abbas reported with regard to the words of Allah, Great and Glorious: Move not thy tongue therewith (Ixxv. 16) that when Gabriel brought revelation to him (the Holy Prophet) he moved his tongue and lips (with a view to committing it to memory instantly). This was something hard for him and it was visible (from his face). Then Allah, the Exalted. revealed this a Move not thy tongue therewith to make haste (in memorising it). Surely on us rests the collecting of it and the reciting of it (ixxv. 16), i. e. Verily it rests with Us that We would preserve it in your heart and (enable you) to recite it You would recite it when We would recite it and so follow its recitation, and He (Allah) said: We revealed it, so listen to it attentively. Verily its exposition rests with Us. i. e. We would make it deliver by your tongue. So when Gabriel came to him (to the Holy Prophet), he kept silence, and when he went away he recited as Allah had promised him.

حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ مَا قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَی الْجِنِّ وَمَا رَآهُمْ انْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي طَائِفَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ عَامِدِينَ إِلَی سُوقِ عُکَاظٍ وَقَدْ حِيلَ بَيْنَ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَبَيْنَ خَبَرِ السَّمَائِ وَأُرْسِلَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ الشُّهُبُ فَرَجَعَتْ الشَّيَاطِينُ إِلَی قَوْمِهِمْ فَقَالُوا مَا لَکُمْ قَالُوا حِيلَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ خَبَرِ السَّمَائِ وَأُرْسِلَتْ عَلَيْنَا الشُّهُبُ قَالُوا مَا ذَاکَ إِلَّا مِنْ شَيْئٍ حَدَثَ فَاضْرِبُوا مَشَارِقَ الْأَرْضِ وَمَغَارِبَهَا فَانْظُرُوا مَا هَذَا الَّذِي حَالَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ خَبَرِ السَّمَائِ فَانْطَلَقُوا يَضْرِبُونَ مَشَارِقَ الْأَرْضِ وَمَغَارِبَهَا فَمَرَّ النَّفَرُ الَّذِينَ أَخَذُوا نَحْوَ تِهَامَةَ وَهُوَ بِنَخْلٍ عَامِدِينَ إِلَی سُوقِ عُکَاظٍ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بِأَصْحَابِهِ صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا الْقُرْآنَ اسْتَمَعُوا لَهُ وَقَالُوا هَذَا الَّذِي حَالَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ خَبَرِ السَّمَائِ فَرَجَعُوا إِلَی قَوْمِهِمْ فَقَالُوا يَا قَوْمَنَا إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْآنًا عَجَبًا يَهْدِي إِلَی الرُّشْدِ فَآمَنَّا بِهِ وَلَنْ نُشْرِکَ بِرَبِّنَا أَحَدًا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَی نَبِيِّهِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِنْ الْجِنِّ

Ibn Abbas reported with regard to the words: Do not move thy tongue there with to make haste, that the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) felt it hard and he moved his lips. Ibn 'Abbas said to me (Sa'id b. Jubair): I move them just as the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) moved them. Then said Sa'id: I move them just as Ibn 'Abbas moved them, and he moved his lips. Allah, the Exalted, revealed this: Do not move your tongue therewith to make haste. It is with US that its collection rests and its recital (al-Qur'an, ixxv. 16). He said: Its preservation in your heart and then your recital. So when We recite it, follow its recital. He said: Listen to it, and be silent and then it rests with Us that you recite it. So when Gabriel came to the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ), he listened to him attentively, and when Gabriel went away, the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) recited as he (Gabriel) had recited it.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَی عَنْ دَاوُدَ عَنْ عَامِرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَلْقَمَةَ هَلْ کَانَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ شَهِدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ قَالَ فَقَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ أَنَا سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ شَهِدَ أَحَدٌ مِنْکُمْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ قَالَ لَا وَلَکِنَّا کُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَفَقَدْنَاهُ فَالْتَمَسْنَاهُ فِي الْأَوْدِيَةِ وَالشِّعَابِ فَقُلْنَا اسْتُطِيرَ أَوْ اغْتِيلَ قَالَ فَبِتْنَا بِشَرِّ لَيْلَةٍ بَاتَ بِهَا قَوْمٌ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا إِذَا هُوَ جَائٍ مِنْ قِبَلَ حِرَائٍ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَدْنَاکَ فَطَلَبْنَاکَ فَلَمْ نَجِدْکَ فَبِتْنَا بِشَرِّ لَيْلَةٍ بَاتَ بِهَا قَوْمٌ فَقَالَ أَتَانِي دَاعِي الْجِنِّ فَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ الْقُرْآنَ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ بِنَا فَأَرَانَا آثَارَهُمْ وَآثَارَ نِيرَانِهِمْ وَسَأَلُوهُ الزَّادَ فَقَالَ لَکُمْ کُلُّ عَظْمٍ ذُکِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يَقَعُ فِي أَيْدِيکُمْ أَوْفَرَ مَا يَکُونُ لَحْمًا وَکُلُّ بَعْرَةٍ عَلَفٌ لِدَوَابِّکُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَا تَسْتَنْجُوا بِهِمَا فَإِنَّهُمَا طَعَامُ إِخْوَانِکُمْ

Ibn 'Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) neither recited the Qur'an to the Jinn nor did he see them. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) went out with some of his Companions with the intention of going to the bazaar of 'Ukaz And there had been (at that time) obstructions between satans and the news from the Heaven, and there were flung flames upon them. So satan went back to their people and they said: What has happened to you? They said: There have been created obstructions between us and the news from the Heaven. And there have been flung upon us flames. They said: It cannot happen but for some (important) event. So traverse the eastern parts of the earth and the western parts and find out why is it that there have been created obstructions between us and the news from the Heaven. So they went forth and traversed the easts of the earth and its wests. Some of them proceeded towards Tihama and that is a nakhl towards the bazaar of 'Ukaz and he (the Holy Prophet) was leading his Companions in the morning prayer. So when they heard the Qur'an. they listened to it attentively and said: It is this which has caused obstruction between us and news from the Heaven. They went back to their people and said: O our people, we have heard a strange Qur'an which directs us to the right path; so we affirm our faith in it and we would never associate anyone with our Lord. And Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed to His Apostle Muhammad ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ): It has been revealed to me that a party of Jinn listened to it (Qur'an, lxxii. 1).

حَدَّثَنِيهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ إِلَی قَوْلِهِ وَآثَارَ نِيرَانِهِمْ قَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ وَسَأَلُوهُ الزَّادَ وَکَانُوا مِنْ جِنِّ الْجَزِيرَةِ إِلَی آخِرِ الْحَدِيثِ مِنْ قَوْلِ الشَّعْبِيِّ مُفَصَّلًا مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

Dawud reported from 'Amir who said: I asked 'Alqama if Ibn Mas'ud was present with the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) on the night of the Jinn (the night when the Prophet met them). He (Ibn Mas'uad) said: No, but we were in the company of the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) one night and we missed him. We searched for him in the valleys and the hills and said. He has either been taken away (by jinn) or has been secretly killed. He (the narrator) said. We spent the worst night which people could ever spend. When it was dawn we saw him coming from the side of Hiri'. He (the narrator) reported. We said: Messenger of Allah, we missed you and searched for you, but we could not find you and we spent the worst night which people could ever spend. He (the Holy Prophet) said: There came to me an inviter on behalf of the Jinn and I went along with him and recited to them the Qur'an. He (the narrator) said: He then went along with us and showed us their traces and traces of their embers. They (the Jinn) asked him (the Holy Prophet) about their provision and he said: Every bone on which the name of Allah is recited is your provision. The time it will fall in your hand it would be covered with flesh, and the dung of (the camels) is fodder for your animals. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Don't perform istinja with these (things) for these are the food of your brothers (Jinn).

دَاوُدَ ← إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ← عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ

حَدَّثَنَاه أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَی قَوْلِهِ وَآثَارَ نِيرَانِهِمْ وَلَمْ يَذْکُرْ مَا بَعْدَهُ

This hadith has been reported by Dawud with the same chain of transmitters up to the word (s): The traces of their embers. Sha'bi said: They (the Jinn) asked about their provision, and they were the Jinn of al-jazira, up to the end of the hadith, and the words of Sha'bi have been directly transmitted from the hadith of Abdullah.

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ← عَلْقَمَةَ، ← الشَّعْبِيِّ ← دَاوُدَ ← عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، ← أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ يَحْيَی أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَمْ أَکُنْ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي کُنْتُ مَعَهُ

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah from the Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) up to the words: The traces of the embers, but he made no mention of what followed afterward.

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ← عَلْقَمَةَ، ← إِبْرَاهِيمُ: ← أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ، ← خَالِدٌ، ← خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ← يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجَرْمِيُّ وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ عَنْ مَعْنٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي قَالَ سَأَلْتُ مَسْرُوقًا مَنْ آذَنَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْجِنِّ لَيْلَةَ اسْتَمَعُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُوکَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّهُ آذَنَتْهُ بِهِمْ شَجَرَةٌ

Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) said: I was not with the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) but I wish I were with him.

مَعْنٌ ← مِسْعَرٍ، ← أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ← سَعِيدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجَرْمِيُّ وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی الْعَنَزِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ الْحَجَّاجِ يَعْنِي الصَّوَّافَ عَنْ يَحْيَی وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ وَأَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بِنَا فَيَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فِي الرَّکْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْکِتَابِ وَسُورَتَيْنِ وَيُسْمِعُنَا الْآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا وَکَانَ يُطَوِّلُ الرَّکْعَةَ الْأُولَی مِنْ الظُّهْرِ وَيُقَصِّرُ الثَّانِيَةَ وَکَذَلِکَ فِي الصُّبْحِ

Ma'n reported.. I heard it from my father who said: I asked Masruq who informed the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) about the night when they heard the Qur'an. He said: Your father, Ibn Mas'ud, narrated it to me that a tree informed him about that.

أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ← عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ وَأَبِي سَلَمَةَ ← يَحْيَی وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ ← الْحَجَّاجِ يَعْنِي الصَّوَّافَ ← ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی الْعَنَزِيُّ

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا هَمَّامٌ وَأَبَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّکْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنْ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْکِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ وَيُسْمِعُنَا الْآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّکْعَتَيْنِ الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْکِتَابِ

Abu Qatada reported: The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) led us in prayer and recited in the first two rak'ahs of the noon and afternoon prayers Surat al-Fitiha and two (other) surahs. And he would sometimes recite loud enough for us the verses. He would prolong the first rak'ah more than the second. And he acted similarly in the morning prayer.

عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ← يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، ← هَمَّامٌ وَأَبَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ← يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ← أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ يَحْيَی وَأَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ جَمِيعًا عَنْ هُشَيْمٍ قَالَ يَحْيَی أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي الصِّدِّيقِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ کُنَّا نَحْزِرُ قِيَامَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فَحَزَرْنَا قِيَامَهُ فِي الرَّکْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنْ الظُّهْرِ قَدْرَ قِرَائَةِ الم تَنْزِيلُ السَّجْدَةِ وَحَزَرْنَا قِيَامَهُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ قَدْرَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ ذَلِکَ وَحَزَرْنَا قِيَامَهُ فِي الرَّکْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنْ الْعَصْرِ عَلَی قَدْرِ قِيَامِهِ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ مِنْ الظُّهْرِ وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ مِنْ الْعَصْرِ عَلَی النِّصْفِ مِنْ ذَلِکَ وَلَمْ يَذْکُرْ أَبُو بَکْرٍ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ الم تَنْزِيلُ وَقَالَ قَدْرَ ثَلَاثِينَ آيَةً

Abu Qatada reported it on the authority of his father: The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) would recite in the first two rak'ahs of the noon and afternoon prayers the opening chapter of the Book and another surah. He would sometimes recite loud enough to make audible to us the verse and would recite in the last two rak'ahs Surat al-Faitiha (only).

اَبِیْ سَعِیْدٍ ← أَبِي الصِّدِّيقِ ← الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ← مَنْصُورٌ، ← هُشَيْمٌ، ← يَحْيَى ← هُشَيْمٌ، ← أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ جَمِيعًا ← يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى

حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ الْوَلِيدِ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الصِّدِّيقِ النَّاجِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ فِي الرَّکْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ فِي کُلِّ رَکْعَةٍ قَدْرَ ثَلَاثِينَ آيَةً وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ قَدْرَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ آيَةً أَوْ قَالَ نِصْفَ ذَلِکَ وَفِي الْعَصْرِ فِي الرَّکْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ فِي کُلِّ رَکْعَةٍ قَدْرَ قِرَائَةِ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ آيَةً وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ قَدْرَ نِصْفِ ذَلِکَ

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported: We used to estimate how long Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) stood in the noon and afternoon prayers, and we estimated hat he stood in the first two rak'ahs of the noon prayer as long as it takes to recite Alif Lam Mim, Tanzil, i. e. as-Sajda. We estimated that he stood half that time in the last two rak'ahs; that he stood in the first two of the afternoon as long as he did in the last two at noon; and in the last two of the afternoon prayer about half that time. Abu Bakr in his narration has made no mention of Alif Lam Mim, Tanzil, but said: As long as it takes to recite thirty verses.
