Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Explanation of the Fifty-One Rak‘ahs; The Order, Recitation, Tasbih in Bowing and Prostration, Qunut, and What is Obligatory and Recommended Therein

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَقْرُنُ بَيْنَ اَلسُّورَتَيْنِ فِي اَلرَّكْعَةِ فَقَالَ« إِنَّ لِكُلِّ سُورَةٍ حَقّاً فَأَعْطِهَا حَقَّهَا مِنَ اَلرُّكُوعِ وَ اَلسُّجُودِ» قُلْتُ فَيَقْطَعُ اَلسُّورَةَ فَقَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ»
And from him, from Safwan from Ibn Bukayr from Zurarah who said: I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام about a man who joins two Surahs in one rak‘ah. Imam عليه السلام said: “Every Surah has a right, so give it its due in bowing and prostration.” I asked: “What if he cuts the Surah (splits it)?” Imam عليه السلام said: “There is no harm in that.”
