the words of Ahmad, because it is a nighttime prayer that he performed at night, so he recites aloud in it just like the one performed on time. If he makes it up during the day, Ahmad said: If he wishes, he may not recite aloud, so it is possible that he should recite silently. This is the school of thought of al-Awza'i and al-Shafi'i; because daytime prayer is "mute" (silent), and this is a daytime prayer. Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If you see someone reciting aloud in a daytime prayer, stone them with pebbles." Abu Hafs narrated it with his chain of transmission. This has now become a daytime prayer, and because it is a prayer performed during the day, it resembles the prayer performed on time during the day. It is also possible that he should recite aloud in it, so that the makeup (qada') is in accordance with the performance on time (ada'), which is the opinion of Abu Hanifah, Abu Thawr, and Ibn al-Mundhir. There is no difference among them between the individual praying alone and the Imam. The apparent meaning of Ahmad's words is that he is given a choice between the two matters, due to the similarity of the missed prayer to both states.

The gist of this is that reciting a surah after the Fatihah is Sunnah in the two rak'ahs of every prayer. We know of no disagreement regarding this. It is recommended that it be in accordance with the description clarified by al-Khiraqi, in emulation of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and following his Sunnah. As for the Subh prayer, Abu Barzah narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to recite in the morning prayer sixty to one hundred verses. It is agreed upon. And from Jabir ibn
