990. It was narrated from Zaid bin Thâbit that he said to Marwân: "O Abû 'Abdul-Malik, do you recite: Say: He is Allâh, (the) One[3] and 'Verily, We have granted you Al-Kawthar[4] in Maghrib?" He said: "Yes." He (Zaid) said: "I swear by Allâh, I saw the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ reciting the longer of the two long Sûrahs in it: 'Alif-Lâm-Mīm-Ṣâd."[5] (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

989 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِمَرْوَانَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ أَتَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِقُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ، وَإِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَمَحْلُوفَةٌ «لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِأَطْوَلِ الطُّولَيَيْنِ المص»

Commentary

By the two lengthy Surahs is meant Surat Al-An'âm and Surat Al-A'râf, and of these two Surat Al-A'râf is lengthier. It is also called the Surah 'Alif Lâm Mīm Ṣâd, because with these very letters the Surah begins.
