حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ وَعَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ قَرَأْتُ الْمُفَصَّلَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ فَقَالَ بَلْ هَذَذْتَ كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ أَوْ كَنَثْرِ الدَّقَلِ لَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ كَمَا فَعَلْتَ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ النُّظُرَ الرَّحْمَنَ وَالنَّجْمَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ قَالَ فَذَكَرَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَشْرَ رَكَعَاتٍ بِعِشْرِينَ سُورَةً عَلَى تَأْلِيفِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ آخِرُهُنَّ إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ وَالدُّخَانُ

مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3968

It was narrated from 'Abdullah that a man came to him and said: I recited al-Mufassal in one rak'ah . He said: Rather you recited it quickly like poetry or like dry dates falling from a branch when it is shaken. But the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) did not do what you did. He used to recite pairs (of soorahs), Al- Rahman and an Najm in one rak'ah. And Abu Ishaq mentioned ten rak'ahs, with twenty soorahs, according to the order of 'Abdullah, the last (pair) of which was Idhash shamsu kuwunrat and ad-Dukhan.
