Question:
Peace be upon you. The questioner asks: What is your opinion regarding some of the imams of the congregational mosques who consistently recite Surah al-A'la and Surah al-Ghashiyah in the Friday prayer, and is there any report (athar) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) concerning this?

Answer:
Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite "Subhan" (Surah al-A'la) and "al-Ghashiyah" in the Friday prayer and on the festivals. He used to recite "Alif Lam Mim" (Surah al-Sajdah) and "Has there come over man" (Surah al-Insan) in the Fajr prayer on Friday. He would sometimes recite Surah al-Jumu'ah and Surah
