803. Jābir bin Samurah said that ‘Umar said to Sa’d: “People have complained (to me) regarding you, so much so that they have even complained about (your) prayer.” He replied: “As for me, I lengthen the first two (Rak’ahs), and shorten the last two. And I do not ignore what I used to follow of the prayer of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.” ‘Umar said: “And that is what (I) thought of you.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

803 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ أَبِي عَوْنٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ لِسَعْدٍ: قَدْ شَكَاكَ النَّاسُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى فِي الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ: أَمَّا أَنَا «فَأَمُدُّ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ، وَأَحْذِفُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ، وَلَا آلُو مَا اقْتَدَيْتُ بِهِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ» قَالَ: ذَاكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ
