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

Mahmud ibn Ghaylan told us: Abu Dawud told us: Shubah informed us, from al-Amash, who said: I heard Abu Wail say: A man asked Abdullah about the expression “not changing in flavor” or “Yasin.” Abdullah asked: Have you recited the whole Quran except this expression? The man said: Yes. Abdullah said: Some people recite it as carelessly as scattered dried dates; it does not pass beyond their collarbones. I know the comparable surahs that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to pair together. We asked Alqamah to ask him, and he said: The Prophet used to pair twenty surahs from the Mufassal section, reciting two surahs in each unit. Abu Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih.
