حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ لِي زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ:‏‏‏‏ مَا لَكَ تَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِقِصَارِ الْمُفَصَّلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِطُولَى الطُّولَيَيْنِ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ مَا طُولَى الطُّولَيَيْنِ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الْأَعْرَافُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْأُخْرَى الْأَنْعَامُ . قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَسَأَلْتُ أَنَا ابْنَ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لِي مِنْ قِبَلِ نَفْسِهِ:‏‏‏‏ الْمَائِدَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْأَعْرَافُ.

Zaid bin Thabit رضی اللہ عنہ asked me: Why do you recite short surahs in the sunset prayer? I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم reciting two long surahs at the sunset prayers. I asked him: which are those two long surahs? He replied: Al-A’raf (surah vii) and al-an’am (surah vi). I ( the narrator Ibn Juraij) asked Ibn Mulaikah (about these surahs): He said on his own accord: Al-ma’idah (surah v. ) and al-A’raf (furah vii. )
