حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سِمَاکٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ کَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ بِاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَی وَفِي الْعَصْرِ نَحْوَ ذَلِکَ وَفِي الصُّبْحِ أَطْوَلَ مِنْ ذَلِکَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 1029
Simak asked Jabir b. Samura about the prayer of the Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). He said: He (the Holy Prophet) shortened the prayer and he did not pray like these people then, and he informed me that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to recite Qaf. By the (Glorious) Qur'an, and a passage of similar length.
