English translation

804. Abū Saʿeed Al-Khudrī said: "We estimated (the length of time) that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood for Zuhr and ʿAṣr. So we estimated that he stood in the first two Rakʿah of Zuhr for around (the time it takes to recite) thirty verses — the length of Alif Lām Mīm Tanzīl As-Sajdah.[1] And we estimated that he stood half of that length in the last two Rakʿahs. And we estimated that he stood in ʿAṣr for the first two Rakʿahs as he stood in the last two of Zuhr. And he stood in the last two Rakʿahs of ʿAṣr around half that the length." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

804 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي النُّفَيْلِيَّ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الْهُجَيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الصِّدِّيقِ النَّاجِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: «حَزَرْنَا قِيَامَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فَحَزَرْنَا قِيَامَهُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ قَدْرَ ثَلَاثِينَ آيَةً قَدْرَ الم تَنْزِيلُ السَّجْدَةِ، وَحَزَرْنَا قِيَامَهُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، وَحَزَرْنَا قِيَامَهُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الْعَصْرِ عَلَى قَدْرِ الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ وَحَزَرْنَا قِيَامَهُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ مِنَ الْعَصْرِ عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ»
