Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Abdah ibn Abd Allah al-KhuzaI al-Basri narrated to us: Zayd ibn al-Hubab narrated to us: Husayn ibn Waqid narrated to us, from Abd Allah ibn Buraydah, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite in the late evening prayer Surat al-Shams wa Duha-ha (By the sun and its morning brightness) and similar surahs. There are reports on this topic from al-Bara ibn Azib and Anas. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Buraydah is hasan. It is also reported that the Prophet recited Surat al-Tin wa al-Zaytun (By the fig and the olive) in the late evening prayer. Uthman ibn Affan is reported to have recited in that prayer surahs from the middle section of al-Mufassal, such as Surat al-Munafiqun and similar surahs. The Companions of the Prophet and their Successors are reported to have recited more or less than this, so the matter seems broad in their view. The best reports on this are that the Prophet recited al-Shams wa Duha-ha and al-Tin wa al-Zaytun.
