“I have never seen anyone
whose
prayer more closely resembles that of the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
than so-and-so. He used to lengthen the first two Rak’ah of the
Zuhr and shorten the last two Rak’ah, and he used to shorten the
‘Asr.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 5, Hadith 25

“I said to Khabbab: ‘How did
you
recognize that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was reciting in the
Zuhr
and the ‘Asr?’ He said: ‘From the movement of his beard.’”

“Thirty of the
Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) who had been at Badr came
together and said: ‘Come, let us estimate the length of the
recitation
of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for the prayer in which
Quran is not
recited out aloud.’ No two men among them
disagreed, and they
estimated the length of his recitation in the
first Rak’ah of the Zuhr
to be thirty Verses and in the second
Rak’ah to be half of that. They
estimated his recitation in ‘Asr
to be half of the last two Rak’ah of
Zuhr.”
