I prayed with the Prophet ﷺ one night. He began with Surah al-Baqarah, and I thought to myself, "He will bow at the hundredth verse," but he continued. Then I thought, "He will bow at the two-hundredth verse," but he continued. Then I thought, "He will complete it in one rakah," but he went on. He then began Surah an-Nisa and recited it through, then began Surah Al Imran and recited it through.He recited slowly and deliberately. Whenever he passed a verse containing glorification, he glorified Allah. Whenever he passed a verse containing a request, he made a request. Whenever he passed a verse containing a prayer for refuge, he sought refuge.Then he bowed and said, "Glory be to my Lord, the Magnificent." His bowing was about as long as his standing. Then he raised his head and said, "Allah hears whoever praises Him." His standing was nearly as long as his bowing. Then he prostrated and began saying, "Glory be to my Lord, the Most High." His prostration was nearly as long as his bowing.
أخبرنا الحسين بن منصور قال حدثنا عبد الله بن نمير قال حدثنا الأعمش عن سعد بن عبيدة عن المستورد بن الأحنف عن صلة بن زفر
صليت مع النبي ﷺ ليلة فافتتح البقرة فقلت يركع عند المائة فمضى فقلت يركع عند المائتين فمضى فقلت يصلي بها في ركعة فمضى فافتتح النساء فقرأها ثم افتتح آل عمران فقرأها يقرأ مترسلا إذا مر بآية فيها تسبيح سبح وإذا مر بسؤال سأل وإذا مر بتعوذ تعوذ ثم ركع فقال سبحان ربي العظيم فكان ركوعه نحوا من قيامه ثم رفع رأسه فقال سمع الله لمن حمده فكان قيامه قريبا من ركوعه ثم سجد فجعل يقول سبحان ربي الأعلى فكان سجوده قريبا من ركوعه
