Commentary
a. This Hadith tells us that, alongside Surah Al-Jumu'ah, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to recite Surah Al-Ghāshiyah in the Friday prayer, while in the previous Hadith we were told that, in addition to Surah Al-Jumu'ah, he ﷺ used to recite Surah Al-Munāfiqun. The obvious inference, therefore, is that we have a choice in the selection of texts and chapters of the Qur'ān.
b. The written word is as dependable as the heard version of a Hadith, provided that we are sure about the authenticity of the source.
