So Abū Hurairah led us in Ṣalāt on Friday, reciting Sūrat Al-Jumu'ah (in the first Rak'ah), and in the second prostration (Rak'ah): When the hypocrites come to you."[1] 'Ubaidullāh said: "So I caught up with Abū Hurairah and said to him: 'You recited two Sūrah that 'Alī recited in Al-Kūfah.' Abū Hurairah said: 'Indeed I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ reciting them.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
