1005. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh said: "I know the similar Sûrahs that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to recite, twenty Sûrahs in ten Rak'ahs." Then he took 'Alqamah's hand and went in, then 'Alqamah came out and we asked him and he told us what they were. (Sahih)

Arabic text

1004 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: " إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ يَقْرَأُ بِهِنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: عِشْرِينَ سُورَةً فِي عَشْرِ رَكَعَاتٍ " ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَلْقَمَةَ فَدَخَلَ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا عَلْقَمَةَ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ فَأَخْبَرَنَا بِهِنَّ

Commentary

Whether it is two Surahs in one unit of prayer or two Surahs in two units of the same prayer, there should be spiritual relationship between them. Nazâir (identical Surahs) also denote the same kinship. Some people have taken it to mean kinship in prolongation but it is not correct.
