Sunan Abi Dawud 873 (Book 2, Hadith 483) #21164
Reciting the Qur'an in Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) recited Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Aal Imran in prayer, pausing to make supplication when he came across verses of mercy and seeking refuge in Allah when he came across verses of punishment.

Narrated Awf ibn Malik al-Ashja'i: I stood up to pray along with the Messenger of Allah ; he got up and recited Surat al-Baqarah (Surah 2). When he came to a verse which spoke of mercy, he stopped and made supplication, and when he came to verse which spoke of punishment, he stopped and sought refuge in Allah, then he bowed and paused as long as he stood (reciting Surah al-Baqarah), and said while bowing, "Glory be to the Possessor of greatness, the Kingdom, grandeur and majesty". :Then he prostrated himself and paused as long as he stood up and recited Surat Aal Imran (Surah 3) and then recited many surahs one after another.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الأَشْجَعِيِّ، قَالَ قُمْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ لَيْلَةً فَقَامَ فَقَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ لاَ يَمُرُّ بِآيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ إِلاَّ وَقَفَ فَسَأَلَ وَلاَ يَمُرُّ بِآيَةِ عَذَابٍ إِلاَّ وَقَفَ فَتَعَوَّذَ - قَالَ - ثُمَّ رَكَعَ بِقَدْرِ قِيَامِهِ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ ‏ "‏ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْجَبَرُوتِ وَالْمَلَكُوتِ وَالْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ بِقَدْرِ قِيَامِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي سُجُودِهِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ - ثُمَّ قَامَ فَقَرَأَ بِآلِ عِمْرَانَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ سُورَةً سُورَةً

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Awf ibn Malik al-Ashja’i speaks about the importance of reciting the Qur’an during prayer. When praying, it is important to pause and make supplications when coming across verses that speak of mercy, as well as seek refuge in Allah from verses that speak of punishment. This hadith also mentions that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would recite many surahs one after another while praying. This shows us how important it is to recite the Qur'an during our prayers, as it was something practiced by our beloved Prophet Muhammad himself. It also teaches us to be mindful and take time out for supplications whenever we come across a verse speaking about mercy or punishment while reading or reciting the Qur'an.
