Chapter 2 · Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat)حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ: مَا لَكَ تَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِقِصَارِ الْمُفَصَّلِ، وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِطُولَى الطُّولَيَيْنِ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: مَا طُولَى الطُّولَيَيْنِ ؟ قَالَ: الْأَعْرَافُ، وَالْأُخْرَى الْأَنْعَامُ . قَالَ: وَسَأَلْتُ أَنَا ابْنَ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، فَقَالَ لِي مِنْ قِبَلِ نَفْسِهِ: الْمَائِدَةُ، وَالْأَعْرَافُ.

Zaid bin Thabit رضی اللہ عنہ asked me: Why do you recite short surahs in the sunset prayer? I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم reciting two long surahs at the sunset prayers. I asked him: which are those two long surahs? He replied: Al-A’raf (surah vii) and al-an’am (surah vi). I ( the narrator Ibn Juraij) asked Ibn Mulaikah (about these surahs): He said on his own accord: Al-ma’idah (surah v. ) and al-A’raf (furah vii. )
