Reciting Longer Surahs in Maghrib Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) reciting longer surahs in Maghrib prayer.

Marwan bin Al-Hakam narrated that: Zaid bin Thabit said: "Why do I see you reciting short surahs in Maghrib when I saw the Messenger of Allah reciting the longer of the two long surahs in it?" I said: "O Abu Abdullah, what is the longer of the two long surahs?" He said: "Al-A'raf".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ مَا لِي أَرَاكَ تَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِقِصَارِ السُّوَرِ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِأَطْوَلِ الطُّولَيَيْنِ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَا أَطْوَلُ الطُّولَيَيْنِ قَالَ الأَعْرَافُ

Follow Prophet Muhammad's example, Recite long suras during maghreb prayer

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of reciting longer surahs during the maghrib prayer. It was narrated by Marwan bin Al-Hakam who heard it from Zaid bin Thabit, a companion of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. According to this hadith, when Zaid saw people reciting short surahs during maghrib prayer he asked why they were not following what he saw the Prophet ﷺ do which was to recite longer surahs such as al A’raf. This shows us that we should strive to follow what our beloved prophet did and take his example as our guide in life. We should also make sure to recite long surahs during maghrib prayer and other prayers throughout the day so that we can gain more rewards from Allah SWT for our worship and devotion towards Him.
