Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. In a segment for the brother questioner, he says: Honorable Shaykh, it is reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite long surahs in the Maghrib prayer. What are these long surahs? And how is that done?
Answer:
The general rule is that he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite from the short surahs in the Maghrib prayer; that is the norm. Sometimes he would recite long surahs. He recited al-A’raf, dividing it between the two rak’ahs on one occasion, and he recited al-Tur, and he recited al-Mursalat. But this does not mean it was the norm of his (peace and blessings be upon him) Sunnah. Yes.
