Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 310
This Hadith is a short report about Isha prayer recitation. Al-Bara bin Azib narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم recited "By the fig and the olive" in the latter Isha prayer. This refers to Surah At-Tin. The main search phrase is Surah At-Tin in Isha hadith. The narration does not give a long list of prayer details. It simply preserves one example of what the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم recited in Isha. It also sits close in meaning to the report about reciting Ash-Shams or similar surahs in Isha. Together, these reports help readers see that Qur'an recitation in salah was remembered carefully by the Companions.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم recited Surah At-Tin in Isha prayer.
- The report gives a clear example of Qur'an recitation in a daily prayer.
- A short narration can still preserve an important prayer detail.
- This Hadith should not be read as saying only Surah At-Tin may be recited in Isha.
