Question 171) - Is there Sunnah Qira-ah in any of these Sunan?

A: Yes, at-Tirmizi narrates that 'Abdullaah bin Mas'ud RA said: "I cannot count the amount of times I heard Rasululaah SAW read in the two Rak'at after Maghrib and the two Rak'at before Fajr, 'Qul ye ayyulhal Kafirun...' and 'Quit Hu~wAllaahu Ahab."'

Muslim narrates from Abu Hurayrah RA that Rasulullah read in the two Rak'at before Fajr, 'Qua ya ayyulhal Kafirun' and 'Qul HuwAllaahu Ahad."' Muslim narrates from Ibn 'Abbas RA that Rasulullaah SAW used to read in the first Rak'ah before Fajr, "Qulu amanna billahi wa ma unzila ilayna" [al-Baqarah] and in the last Rak'ah, "Amanna billahi wash-had bi-anna Muslimun" ~Ali-'lmran~ [Muslim] also narrates from Ibn 'Abbas RA that Rasulullaah used to read in the Rak'at before Fajr, "amanna billahi wa ma unzila ilayna" (It means that he read in the first Rak'ah, "Qulu ammanna billahi... until the end of the Aayah. It is clarified in al-Bayhaqi that he read until, ~wa nahnu lahu Muslimun. in the second Rak~ah he read the complete Aayah from Ali-lmran from, Qul ya Ahlal Kitabi ta~aalaw ila kalimatin...) and from Al 'Imran, "Ta'aalaw ila kalimatin sawaim baynana wa baynakum
