The Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) guidance in reciting the short surahs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.
The questioner:
Some of the brothers who follow these lessons sent some questions related to the previous lessons. One of them says: Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "It was not among his (the Prophet's) way to recite the short surahs, nor to recite a surah in the two rak'ahs."
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad. The Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It was not part of his (peace and blessings be upon him) way, that is, his Sunnah and his custom, to recite the short surahs. However, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would begin a surah; if he willed, he would complete it, and if he willed, he would divide it between the two rak'ahs. And if he willed, he would limit himself to what he recited from its beginning. But among his ways was that he would begin from the middle of a surah, except for what is reported that he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite[Al-Baqarah 2:136] from Surat al-Baqarah in the regular voluntary prayer of Fajr.
And in the second rak'ah, he would recite "Say, O People of the Book, come to a common word between us and you" up toAl-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 26:260. Because these two verses contain the oneness of lordship in the verse from al-Baqarah, and the oneness of worship in the verse from al-Imran. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh

Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us
قُولُوا آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْنَاAnd in the second rak'ah, he would recite "Say, O People of the Book, come to a common word between us and you" up to
"A common word between us and you: that we worship none but Allah and we associate nothing with Him"
