Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأُمَوِيُّ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ قَالَ ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَالِيَةِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لِكُلِّ سُورَةٍ حَظُّهَا مِنْ الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ قَالَ ثُمَّ لَقِيتُهُ بَعْدُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ بِالسُّوَرِ فَتَعْرِفُ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُهُ وَأَعْرِفُ مُنْذُ كَمْ حَدَّثَنِيهِ حَدَّثَنِي مُنْذُ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةٍ.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Umawi told us, from 'Asim, who said: Abu al-'Aliya told us, he said: Someone who heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say informed me: "Every surah has its due share of bowing and prostration." He said: Then I met him later and said to him, "Ibn 'Umar used to recite several surahs in a single rak'a; do you know who told you this hadith?" He said, "Indeed I know him, and I know how long ago he told it to me -- he told it to me fifty years ago."
