Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding what is narrated about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to pause twice, a pause... is this correct?
The Shaykh : This is correct, but they are not long pauses. The pause after the opening invocation, as you saw, is a pause after al-Fatihah to serve as a separator between the obligatory recitation and the recommended recitation. The pause after reciting the surah when bowing is also a separator between the pillar of standing and the bowing, but it is brief, not lengthy. Yes.
