Salaam brother and sister
I have a very important question with regards to how I perform my pray , recently I pray in a congregational pray of maghrib.
the brother who lead the pray , prayed In the first Raka Sura An-Nasr and in the second I read sura Al-Kawthar,
I was under the impression that you have to pray the surah as per Quran order in other words sura Al-kawthar comes first so this should have been pray first follow by surah An-Nasr.
He states that
The prophet (pbuh) made the first Rak'ah longer and the second Rak'ak shorter. If one does not do this then it becomes Makruh Tahrimi (deemed forbidden). Therefore it becomes wajib to do this.
and is quoting this from Hadith Abu-Dawud, Kitab Al-salah
can you please confirm on this so that I know where I am standing please do quote which Hadith you are referencing to page number verse would be much useful.
may Allah reward you for your effort.
