He would also, on occasion, recite after al-Fātiḥah, in the first of the two rakʿahs, the verse:
“Say, ‘We believe in Allah and in what has been sent down to us and in what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes; and in what Moses and Jesus received, and what the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.’” (2:136)
In the second he would recite:
“Say, ‘O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you: that we worship none but Allah, associate nothing with Him, and that none of us take one another as lords beside Allah. But if they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that we are Muslims.”’” (3:64)
At other times he would substitute it with:
“When Jesus sensed disbelief in them, he said, ‘Who will be my helpers for Allah?’ The disciples said, ‘We are Allah’s helpers; we believe in Allah, so bear witness that we are Muslims.’” (3:52) (1)
