5046. Narrated Qatāda: Anas was asked, "How was the recitation (of the Qur'ān) of the Prophet ﷺ?" He replied, "It was characterised by the prolongation of certain sounds." He then recited: "In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful," prolonging the pronunciation of "In the Name of Allāh," 'the Most Gracious,' and 'the Most Merciful'.
