The ruling on repeating verses of punishment in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A mosque imam, when he recites verses containing punishment, repeats the verse, such as when he recites, “This is what befell them on the Day of Judgment,” he repeats it three times. This is his habit in many of the obligatory prayers where the recitation is audible. What is the ruling on this, considering that he argues that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spent a whole night on a single verse, “If you punish them, they are indeed your servants,” in a voluntary prayer?
Answer:
What is it? What is it? There are many obligatory prayers that are recited aloud. Yes, the ones recited aloud. So what is the ruling on that, knowing that he argues that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood the entire night in one verse, "If you punish them, they are indeed your servants," in the voluntary prayer? If he repeats this in the voluntary prayer, and he is praying on his own without a congregation, praying alone, then he repeats what he fears, just as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did this in the night prayer while praying for himself (peace and blessings be upon him). He did not do this while leading people in prayer. Yes, a person must know, meaning, the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He must know what he does not do in the voluntary prayer, what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do in the voluntary prayer, the night prayer, and his prayer alone, and what he does in the obligatory prayer, his prayer with the congregation. He said (peace and blessings be upon him)

Whoever leads the people, let him shorten the prayer,
أيكم أم الناس فليخفف،For among them are the old, the weak, and those in need. So if he prays for himself, let him lengthen the prayer as much as he wishes.
فإن فيهم الكبير ضعيف وذا الحاجة فإذا صلى لنفسه فليطول ما شاء.
