(97) CHAPTER. The recitation of the Quran in the Asr prayer.
Narrated Abu Ma`mar: I asked Khabbab bin Al-Art whether the Prophet used to recite the Qur'an in the Zuhr and the `Asr prayers. He replied in the affirmative. I said, How did you come to know that? He replied, From the movement of his beard.
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi Qatada: My father said, The Prophet used to recite Al-Fatiha along with another Sura in the first two rak`at of the Zuhr and the `Asr prayers and at times a t verse or so was audible to us.
