306. Qutbah bin Mālik narrated: "I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ reciting for Fajr: And tall date palms[1] in the first Rak'ah."
He said: There are narrations on this topic from 'Amr bin Ḥuraith, Jābir bin Samurah, 'Abdullāh bin As-Sā'ib, Abū Barzah, and Umm Salamah.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Qutbah bin Mālik is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.
It has been reported that the Prophet ﷺ recited (Sūrat) Al-Wāqī'ah in Ṣubḥ (Fajr prayer).
And it has been reported that he would recite from sixty to one-hundred Āyāt in Fajr.
And it has been reported that he would recite: When the sun rolled up.[1]
And it has been reported that 'Umar wrote to Abū Mūsā that the recitation in Subh should be from the long Muṣṣal (Sūrah). (Ṣahīh)
Abū 'Eisā said: This is what is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. And it is the saying of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Ibn Al-Mubārak, and Ash-Shāfi'i.

Commentary
1. The recitation of the Qur'an is also a compulsory part and a fundamental pillar of prayer, like standing, Rukū', Sujūd and sitting; and the standing position is its place.
2. Reciting Al-Fātiḥah in every Rak'ah is compulsory while Reciting a portion of the Qur'an after Fātiḥah is Sunnah; and if it is missed by chance, the prayer without it is valid.
