Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah

When we pray sunnat or nafil salat we know it may be better to read long surahs. But for me in the longer surahs there is more chances of making mistakes.

Question

For example I pray two nafil with small surahs like Surah Naas and Surah Falaq without any mistakes. But if I pray two nafil with Surah Rahman and Surah Waqia I feel I may be making some mistakes. Is my prayer with longer surahs with few mistakes in tilawat better then prayer with smaller surahs.

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu

Your Nafl Salaat with longer Surahs and making mistakes is more virtuous
than reciting shorter Surahs.

Which sunnah salaah are emphasised (muakkadah)?

“Sunnah Salaah should not be unduly missed during a journey. However, if the Musaafir is in a hurry then, apart from the Sunnah of Fajr, it will be permissible for him to omit the other Sunnah Salaahs.”
