*Episode 23*

*'Asr prayer*

"He (Sallallaahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) used to recite al-Faatihah and two

(other) soorahs in the first two rak'ahs, making the first one longer than

the second"303, and "they used to think that he did it so that the people

could catch the rak'ah."304

"He used to recite about fifteen aayaat in each of the first two rak'ahs, about

half as much as he recited in each of the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr, and he

used to make the last two rak'ahs about half as long the first two."305

"He used to recite al-Faatihah in the last two."306

"He would let them hear an aayah or so sometimes."307

He used to recite the surahs mentioned under "Zuhr prayer" above.
