English translation

984. It was narrated that Abū Hurairah said: "I have never prayed behind anyone whose prayer more closely resembled that of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ than so-and-so. We prayed behind that person and he used to make the first two Rak'ahs of Zuhr lengthy and the last two shorter, and he would make 'Aṣr shorter; in Maghrib he would recite the short Muṣaṣṣal Sūrahs. In 'Ishâ' he recited: 'By the sun and its brightness'[2] and similar Sūrahs, and in Subh he recited two lengthy Sūrahs." (Sahih)

Arabic text

983 - أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: «مَا صَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءَ أَحَدٍ أَشْبَهَ صَلَاةً بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ فُلَانٍ - فَصَلَّيْنَا وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ الْإِنْسَانِ وَكَانَ يُطِيلُ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ، وَيُخَفِّفُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ، وَيُخَفِّفُ فِي الْعَصْرِ، وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِقِصَارِ الْمُفَصَّلِ، وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الْعِشَاء بِالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا وَأَشْبَاهِهَا، وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الصُّبْحِ بِسُورَتَيْنِ طَوِيلَتَيْنِ»
