CHAPTER: Those Who Claimed A Lesser Amount (Should Be Recited).
HIsham bin Urwah said that his father (‘Umrah) used to recite the surahs as you recite like Wa’l-Adiyat (surah c). Abu Dawud said: This indicates that those (traditions indicating long surahs) are abrogated, and this is more sound tradition.
Amr bin Shuaib, on his father’s authority, quoted his grandfather as saying: There is no short or long surah in al-Mufassal which I have not heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم reciting when he led the people in the prescribed prayer.
Abu Uthman al-Nahdl said that he offered the sunset prayer behind Ibn Masud, when he recited “Say: He is Allah, the One” (Surah 112).
