Is the intended meaning of brevity in the two rak'ahs of the greeting of the mosque, while the imam is delivering the sermon, to limit the recitation to Surat al-Fatihah only?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is the intended meaning of brevity in the two rak'ahs of the greeting of the mosque, while the imam is delivering the sermon, to limit the recitation to Surat al-Fatihah only, without reciting a surah after it?

Answer:
No, that is not the intended meaning. One recites after Surat al-Fatihah, but does not lengthen the recitation; one recites a brief amount after it. Yes.
