Sahih Muslim 451a (Book 4, Hadith 174) #8179
Reciting Surat al-Fatiha in Prayers

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would recite Surat al-Fatiha and two other surahs in the first two rak'ahs of the noon, afternoon, and morning prayers. He would prolong the first rak'ah more than the second.

Abu Qatada reported: The Messenger of Allah led us in prayer and recited in the first two rak'ahs of the noon and afternoon prayers Surat al-Fitiha and two (other) surahs. And he would sometimes recite loud enough for us the verses. He would prolong the first rak'ah more than the second. And he acted similarly in the morning prayer.
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ، - يَعْنِي الصَّوَّافَ - عَنْ يَحْيَى، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ - عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، وَأَبِي، سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي بِنَا فَيَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَتَيْنِ وَيُسْمِعُنَا الآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا وَكَانَ يُطَوِّلُ الرَّكْعَةَ الأُولَى مِنَ الظُّهْرِ وَيُقَصِّرُ الثَّانِيَةَ وَكَذَلِكَ فِي الصُّبْحِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abu Qatada tells us that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to recite Surat Al Fatiha and two other surahs in his prayers. He would prolong the first rak’ah more than the second one. This is a practice that Muslims should follow when they pray their five daily prayers as it was taught by our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself. It is important to remember that reciting Quran during prayer is an act of worship which will bring us closer to Allah SWT and increase our faith in Him. We should strive to make sure we are reciting Quran correctly with proper pronunciation so we can reap its full rewards from Allah SWT.
