1102. 'Amrah narrated from her sister that she said: "I memorized (Sūrah) Qāf directly from the mouth of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, for he would recite it every Friday." (Sahih)
Abū Dāwūd said: This is how it was reported by Yahyā bin Ayyūb and Ibn Abī Ar-Rijāl, from Yahyā bin Sa'eed, from 'Amrah, from Umm Hishām bint Hārīthah in An-Nu'mān.

Commentary
The Khutbah, and prayer after it, should be of a moderate length. These two narrations demonstrate the approximate length. In number 1100, the author narrated a version saying that Surah Qāf was the topic of the Khutbah, then he narrated number 1102 which indicates it was recited during the prayer. These narrations give an indication that both the Khutbah and the recitation were each about the length of that Sūrah. See number 1106 and the chapter related to it, stressing the brevity of the Khutbah.
