Question:
Is this the hadith, “Whoever stands in prayer
he will be recorded among those who receive huge rewardsبألف آية كتب من المقنطرين
Sunan Abi Dawud 1398Sahih (Al-Albani)
,” and what is its meaning?

Answer:
That is to say, the longer one stands in prayer and the longer one recites the Qur'an, the better it is. Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surat al-Baqarah, Surat al-Nisa, and Surat al-Imran in one rak'ah or in two rak'ahs. He would lengthen the recitation until his feet swelled from the length of standing, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him. Yes.
