(106) CHAPTER. To recite two Surah in one Raka and to recite the last Verses of some Surah, or to recite the Surah in their reverse order, or to recite the beginning of a Surah.
Narrated Abu Wa'il: A man came to Ibn Mas`ud and said, I recited the Mufassal (Suras) at night in one rak`a. Ibn Mas`ud said, This recitation is (too quick) like the recitation of poetry. I know the identical Suras which the Prophet used to recite in pairs. Ibn Mas`ud then mentioned 20 Mufassal Suras including two Suras from the family of (i.e. those verses which begin with) Ha, Meem [??] (which the Prophet used to recite) in each rak`a.
