Question
Can you tell me which chapters of the Qur’ân the Prophet (peace be upon him) generally read in the five daily prayers, in the Jumu`ah prayer, and in other prayers?
Answer
It is related that the Prophet (peace be upon him) read different chapters of the Qur’ân in the Fajr prayer. The authentic narrations inform us of him reading Sûrah al-Wâqi`ah, Sûrah al-Takwîr, Sûrah al-Zalzalah in either unit of prayer. It is also related that he used to read sixty verses of some long chapter of the Qur'ân, Sûrah al-Rûm, Sûrah YâSîn, and Sûrah al-Sâffât.
When traveling, he would read Sûrah al-Falaq and Sûrah al-Nâs in the Fajr prayer.
On Friday, in the Fajr prayer, he used to read Sûrah al-Sajdah in the first unit of prayer andSûrah al-Insân in the second.
He used to read in Sunnah of the Fajr prayer verse 136 of Sûrah al-Baqarah and verse 64 ofSûrah Al `Imrân.
In the Zuhr prayer, the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to read around thirty verses in each unit. On other occasions, he read Sûrah al-Târiq, Sûrah al-Burûj and Sûrah al-Layl. He used to make the first unit of this prayer longer than the second.
In the `Asr prayer, the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to read around fifteen verses in each unit of prayer. Also, it is reported that he used to read the same chapters that he read in the Zuhr prayer.
In the Maghrib prayer, the Prophet (peace be upon him) read Sûrah al-Tîn, Sûrah Muhammad,Sûrah al-Tûr, Sûrah al-A`râf and Sûrah al-Anfâl in either of the first two units of prayer.
Finally, in the `Ishâ’ prayer, he used to read Sûrah al-Shams, Sûrah al-Inshiqâq and Sûrah al-Tîn.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) discouraged the one leading others in the Ishâ’ prayer from selecting long chapters to read in it. He directed Mu`âdh to read chapters like Sûrah al-Shams,Sûrah al-A`lâ, Sûrah al-`Alaq and Sûrah al-Layl. Then he told him: “Some of the people who pray behind you are old, weak or have something urgent to do” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim]
The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to read Surah al-Jumu`ah in the first unit of the Friday prayer and Sûrah al-Munafiqûn in the second unit. It is also related that he would read Sûrah al-A`lâ in the first unit and Sûrah al-Ghâshiyah in the second unit.
He used to read Sûrah al-A`lâ, Sûrah al-Kâfirûn and Sûrah al-Ikhlâs in his Witr prayer.
