حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ، صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ الْعِشَاءَ فَطَوَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " اقْرَأْ بِالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا وَسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَاقْرَأْ بِسْمِ رَبِّكَ " .

It wasnarrated from Jabir that Mu'adh bin Jabal led his companionsforthe 'Isha' and he made the prayer too long for them. The Prophet(ﷺ) said:
"Recite 'By the sun and its brightness,'[Al-Shams(91)]'Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High,' [Al-A'la(87)] 'By thenight as it envelops,' [Al-Lail (92)] or, 'Read!In the Name of yourLord Who has created.'" [Al-'Alaq (96)]
