The Sufficiency of Reciting a Verse in Prayer

Question

Is it sufficient to recite one verse in prayer after Al-Fatiha, or must it be accompanied by another verse? And should the verses be long?

Answer

I say, and with God's success: It is necessary to read three verses or a long verse equivalent to the length of Surah Al-Kawthar, and God knows best.
