Sunan Ibn Majah 828 (Book 5, Hadith 26) #30180
Estimating the Length of Recitation in Prayer

SUMMARY: The Companions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) estimated the length of his recitation in prayer.

It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said: "Thirty of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah who had been at Badr came together and said: 'Come, let us estimate the length of the recitation of the Messenger of Allah for the prayer in which Qur’an is not recited out aloud.’ No two men among them disagreed, and they estimated the length of his recitation in the first Rak’ah of the Zuhr to be thirty Verses and in the second Rak’ah to be half of that. They estimated his recitation in 'Asr to be half of the last two Rak’ah of Zuhr".
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدٌ الْعَمِّيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ اجْتَمَعَ ثَلاَثُونَ بَدْرِيًّا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ فَقَالُوا تَعَالَوْا حَتَّى نَقِيسَ قِرَاءَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ فِيمَا لَمْ يَجْهَرْ فِيهِ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ ‏.‏ فَمَا اخْتَلَفَ مِنْهُمْ رَجُلاَنِ فَقَاسُوا قِرَاءَتَهُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الأُولَى مِنَ الظُّهْرِ بِقَدْرِ ثَلاَثِينَ آيَةً وَفِي الرَّكْعَةِ الأُخْرَى قَدْرَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَقَاسُوا ذَلِكَ فِي صَلاَةِ الْعَصْرِ عَلَى قَدْرِ النِّصْفِ مِنَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُخْرَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a group of thirty companions who were present at Badr and wanted to estimate how long it took for Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to recite during his prayers. They all agreed that he recited thirty verses in the first Rakah and half that amount in the second Rakah for Zuhr prayer. For Asr prayer they estimated him to recite half of what he did for Zuhr's last two Rakahs. This hadith teaches us that we should pay attention to our prayers and be mindful when we are reciting them as it was important enough for these companions to take note and estimate how long it took Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It also shows us how much respect they had for him as they wanted to make sure they were following his example correctly.
