وإذا قرأ في الركعة الأولى {قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبّ النَّاسِ} (الناس: 1) ، ينبغي أن يقرأ في الركعة الثانية {قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبّ النَّاسِ} (الناس: 1) أيضاً؛ لأن قراءة سورة واحدة في الركعتين غير مكروهة (المحيط البرهاني في الفقه النعمان ج1 ص304)
(قَوْلُهُ لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ سُورَةً إلَخْ) أَفَادَ أَنَّهُ يُكْرَهُ تَنْزِيهًا، وَعَلَيْهِ يُحْمَلُ جَزْمُ الْقُنْيَةِ بِالْكَرَاهَةِ، وَيُحْمَلُ فِعْلُهُ – عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ – لِذَلِكَ عَلَى بَيَانِ الْجَوَازِ، هَذَا إذَا لَمْ يُضْطَرَّ، فَإِنْ اُضْطُرَّ بِأَنْ قَرَأَ فِي الْأُولَى – {قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ} [الناس: 1]- أَعَادَهَا فِي الثَّانِيَةِ إنْ لَمْ يَخْتِمْ نَهْرٌ لِأَنَّ التَّكْرَارَ أَهْوَنُ مِنْ الْقِرَاءَةِ مَنْكُوسًا بَزَّازِيَّةٌ، وَأَمَّا لَوْ خَتَمَ الْقُرْآنَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ فَيَأْتِي قَرِيبًا أَنَّهُ يَقْرَأُ مِنْ الْبَقَرَةِ.
