English Translation

Narrated Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to recite Surah al-Fatihah and one surah each in the first two rak'ahs of the Zuhr and Asr prayers, and sometimes he would let us hear a verse or two, and in the last two rak'ahs he would recite only Surah al-Fatihah.
