Sahih Muslim 458a — Surah Qaf and Shortened Prayer

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 458a

This hadith gives a clear report from Jabir b. Samura about the Prophet’s morning prayer. He says that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم used to recite, “Qaf. By the Glorious Qur'an,” in Fajr, and that his prayer afterward was shortened. The narration is short, but it is useful for people searching Surah Qaf in Fajr prayer, Sahih Muslim 458a, or Prophet’s Fajr recitation hadith. It gives a known example of what was recited in the dawn prayer and also mentions that the prayer after that was lighter. The report does not explain every reason or every possible setting, so the best reading is to stay with the two points it gives: Surah Qaf in Fajr and a shorter prayer afterward.
