2901. Anas bin Mālik said: "There was a man from the Anṣār who led them (in Ṣalāt) at Masjid Qubā'. Every time he was to recite a Sūrah for them during Ṣalāt, he would begin by reciting Qul Huwa Allāhu Aḥad until he finished, then he would recite another Sūrah with it. He did that in each Rak'ah. His companions talked to him and said: 'You recite this Sūrah, then you do not think that it is sufficient until you recite another Sūrah. You should either recite it or leave it and recite another Sūrah.'" He said: "I shall not leave it, if you would like me to lead you with it then I shall do so, and if you do not like it then I shall leave you." And they considered him the best among them, and they did not like the idea of someone else leading them. So when the Prophet ﷺ came to them they informed him about what had happened and he (ﷺ) said: "O so-and-so! What prevents you from doing what your companions told you to do, why do you recite this Sūrah in every Rak'ah?" He said: "O Messenger of Allāh! Indeed I love it!" So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Your love for it shall have you admitted into Paradise." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
This Hadīth proves that reading two Sūrah in one Rak'ah without caring for the sequential order is allowed; were it not allowed the Prophet would have prohibited it.
