about
the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He said: ‘There is
nothing good in that for you.’* I said: ‘Explain it, may Allah
have
mercy on you.’ He said: ‘The Iqamah would be given for the
Zuhr prayer
for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), then one of us would go
out to Al-
Baqi’, relieve himself, then come back and perform
ablution, and he
would find the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) still in the
first Rak’ah of
Zuhr.’”

‘Asr.”

The recitation for the Zuhr and the ‘Asr
It was
narrated that Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said: “Thirty of the
Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) who had been at Badr came
together and said: ‘Come, let us estimate the length of the
recitation
of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for the prayer in which
Qur’an is not
recited out aloud.’ No two men among them
disagreed, and they
estimated the length of his recitation in the
first Rak’ah of the Zuhr
to be thirty Verses and in the second
Rak’ah to be half of that. They
estimated his recitation in ‘Asr
to be half of the last two Rak’ah of
Zuhr.”
