Sunan Ibn Majah 836 (Book 5, Hadith 34) #30188
Shortening Prayers and Reciting Quran Verses

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised Muadh bin Jabal to shorten his prayer and recited some verses from the Quran.

It was narrated from Jabir that Mu’adh bin Jabal led his companions for the 'Isha’ and he made the prayer too long for them. The Prophet said: "Recite 'By the sun and its brightness,’Al-Shams (91) 'Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High,’ Al-A’la (87) 'By the night as it envelops,’ Al-Lail (92) or, 'Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created.’" Al-'Alaq (96)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ، صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ الْعِشَاءَ فَطَوَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ اقْرَأْ بِالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا وَسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَاقْرَأْ بِسْمِ رَبِّكَ
