(284) Chapter: Those Who Claimed A Lesser Amount (Should Be Recited)
423
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلاَةِ الْمَغْرِبِ بِنَحْوِ مَا تَقْرَءُونَ { وَالْعَادِيَاتِ } وَنَحْوِهَا مِنَ السُّوَرِ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ هَذَا يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ ذَاكَ مَنْسُوخٌ وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ .

HIsham b . 'Urwah said that his father ('Umrah) used to recite the surahs as you recite like Wa'l-Adiyat(surah c).Abu Dawud said:
This indicates that those (traditions indicating long surahs) are abrogated, and this is more sound tradition.
