Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَ
ثِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنْ الظُّهْرِ يُسْمِعُنَا الْآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا فَيُطِيلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى وَيُقَصِّرُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنْ الْعَصْرِ وَيُطِيلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى مِنْ الْفَجْرِ وَيُقَصِّرُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite in the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr prayer and would let them hear a verse occasionally. He would make the first rak'ah longer and shorten the second. He would also recite in the first two rak'ahs of 'Asr, similarly making the first longer.
