I prayed with the Prophet ﷺ one night, and he began reciting Surah al-Baqarah. I thought to myself, "He will bow at the hundredth verse," but he continued. So I thought, "He will complete it in one rakah," but he continued. Then I thought, "He will bow at its end," but instead he began Surah an-Nisa and recited it in full, then began Surah Al Imran and recited it in full. He recited unhurriedly. Whenever he passed a verse of glorification, he glorified Allah. Whenever he passed a verse containing a request, he made the request. Whenever he passed a verse seeking refuge, he sought refuge… the hadith continues.
صليت مع النبي ﷺ ذات ليلة فافتتح البقرة فقلت: يركع عند المائة ثم مضى. فقلت: يصلي بها في ركعة فمضى. فقلت: يركع بها، ثم افتتح النساء فقرأها، ثم افتتح آل عمران فقرأها يقرأ مترسلا إذا مر بآية فيها تسبيح سبح، وإذا مر بسؤال سأل، وإذا مر بتعوذ تعوذ… الحديث.
Muslim (772) narrated it from Abu Bakr bin Abu Shayba, who said, Abdullah bin Numayr and Abu Muawiya narrated to us, from Amash, from Saad bin Ubayda, from Mustawrid bin Ahnaf, from Salah bin Zafar, from Huzaifa, and he mentioned it.
