Omar reports having offered two units of prayer before and after the mid-day prayer, and two units of prayer after the evening prayer and two units of prayer after the night prayer with the Prophet .
The Prophet’s Recitation of the Holy Koran
Lady Umm Salamah, may Allah be pleased with her, said, "He recited every word separately and distinctly." She also said, "He recited: 'Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds' and paused, then recited, 'the Merciful, the Most Merciful and paused. The Prophet paused again after 'Owner of the Day of Recompense.'"
When Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, was asked whether the Prophet recited softly or audibly, she replied that he recited both ways.
One day Umm Hani who lived in Mecca, said she heard the recitation of the Prophet from the roof-top of her house. Scholars say this was due to the stillness of the night when the voice travels further.
When the Prophet opened Mecca, he rode his camel, Kaswa, reciting the following verses repeatedly, 'Indeed We have opened for you a clear opening, that Allah forgives your past and future sin, and completes His Favor to you, and guides you on a Straight Path.' (48:1-2). Muawiyah, the son of Korrah, who was one of the narrators of this Prophetic Quotation said that if he had not feared that people would surround him, he would have recited it in the same tone.
The Companion, Katadah, said that Allah gave every one of His prophets a beautiful feature and a beautiful voice, and that our Prophet had both beautiful features and voice, but he did not recite in a melodious tone as is the custom of singers.
Conclusion
All those blessed to see Prophet Muhammad could only describe his noble, blessed features by saying, "I have not seen anyone like the Messenger of Allah neither before nor after him." Therefore, it is impossible for us in this day and age to comprehend the magnitude of his beauty, either physically or inwardly.
By attempting to mirror his ways there are tremendous blessings which are rich in reward.
