Summary of Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith 824
This narration reports the Friday Fajr Quran recitation from Abdullah bin Mas’ud. He said that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) used to recite Alif-Lam-Mim Tanzil and Hal ata ‘alal-insan in the Subh prayer on Friday. The report names the same two openings found in the other narrations: Surah As-Sajdah and Surah Al-Insan. Its main message is not a long legal discussion; it simply preserves what was recited in that prayer. For someone searching for the hadith about Friday Fajr surahs, this text gives a direct report from a Companion known here by name. The wording encourages careful attention to the Prophet’s prayer.
