An-Nasa'i recorded that `Abdullah bin `Umar, may Allah be pleased with him,
said, "The Messenger of Allah used to command us to make our prayers short and
he used to recite As-Saffat when he lead us in prayer.'' This was recorded by
An-Nasa'i only.
[بِسْمِ اللَّهِ
الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ ]
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
[وَالصَّـفَّـتِ
صَفَّا - فَالزَجِرَتِ زَجْراً - فَالتَّـلِيَـتِ ذِكْراً - إِنَّ إِلَـهَكُمْ
لَوَاحِدٌ - رَّبُّ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ
الْمَشَـرِقِ ]
(1. By those ranged in ranks.) (2. By those who drive the clouds in a good
way.) (3. By those who bring the Dhikr.) (4. Verily, your God is indeed One;)
(5. Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and all that is between them, and Lord
of every point of the sun's risings.)
