Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) Recitation in Zuhr, Asr, and Fajr Prayers

The Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) Recitation in Prayer

Narrated Abdullah bin Abi Qatada: My father said, The Prophet (PBUH) used to recite Surat Al Fatiha followed by another Surah in the first two Rak'a of the Salat (prayer) and used to recite only Surat Al Fatiha in the last two Rak'a of the Zuhr prayer. Sometimes a Verse or so was audible and he used to prolong the first Rak'a more than the second and used to do the same in the Asr and Fajr prayers.
