The qira’at in the first two [units] of the obligatory prayer is al-Hamd and a surah. It is not to be of the `aza’im in which one does sujud. And they are: sajda Luqman (32), hameem as-sajda (41), an-najm (53) and sura iqra bismi rabbika (96); and the sura is also not to be li-eelafi (106) or alam tara kayfa (105) or wa ‘d-duha (93) or alam nashrah (94) for li-eelafi and alam tara kayfa are a single sura, and wa ‘d-duha and alam nashrah are a single sura. So, it is not permissible to isolate one of them alone in an obligatory unit. So, whoever want to recite them in the obligatory prayer, then he is to recite li-eelafi and alam tara kayfa in a (single) unit, and wa ‘d-duha and alam nashrah in a [single] unit. And coupling (al-qiran) is not permissible between two surahs in the obligatory prayer, however in the voluntary prayer there is no harm with the man reciting whatever he wants. There is no harm with reciting the `aza’im in the voluntary prayer, for that is disliked only in the obligatory prayer. It is obligatory to recite Surat al-Jum`a and al-Munafiqin in the prayer of Thuhr on the day of Jum`a, and the Sunna brought that about.
