975. 'Abdullāh bin Abī Qatādah narrated that his father said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to lead us in prayer, and he would recite in the first two Rak'ahs and make us hear some verses. And he would make the (first) Rak'ah lengthy in Zuhr, and also the first Rak'ah." Meaning in Ṣubh. (Ṣaḥīḥ)
974 - أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ دُرُسْتَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَهُوَ الْقَنَّادُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «كَانَ يُصَلِّي بِنَا الظُّهْرَ فَيَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ يُسْمِعُنَا الْآيَةَ، كَذَلِكَ وَكَانَ يُطِيلُ الرَّكْعَةَ فِي صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرَ وَالرَّكْعَةَ الْأُولَى - يَعْنِي - فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ»

The Fajr and Zuhr prayers generally occur after sleep. It might take time to wake up. After awakening, requisite chores like relieving oneself, taking a bath, use of Siwak, etc., demand time. Therefore, the first unit of prayer should be prolonged so that a greater number of worshippers can join the congregation.
