Hannad narrated to us: Waki narrated to us, from Misar and Sufyan, from Ziyad ibn Alaqah, from his uncle Qutbah ibn Malik, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) reciting in the dawn prayer, in the first unit: By the towering palm trees. There are reports on this topic from Amr ibn Hurayth, Jabir ibn Samurah, Abd Allah ibn al-Saib, Abu Barzah, and Umm Salamah. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Qutbah ibn Malik is hasan sahih. It is also reported that the Prophet recited Surat al-Waqiah in the dawn prayer, that he recited between sixty and one hundred verses in it, and that he recited Idha al-Shamsu Kuwwirat (When the sun is folded up). It is also reported that Umar wrote to Abu Musa, telling him to recite the longer surahs of al-Mufassal in the dawn prayer. Abu Isa said: This is the practice of the scholars; Sufyan al-Thawri, Ibn al-Mubarak, and al-Shafii held this view.
