704. Narrated Abū Mas'ūd رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: A man came and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I keep away from the early morning prayer (Fajr prayer) because so-and-so (Imām) prolongs it too much." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ became furious and I had never seen him more furious than he was on that day. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O people! Some of you make others hate or dislike the good deeds [e.g., the Salāt (prayers etc.)] so whoever becomes an Imām he should shorten (the prayer), as behind him are the weak, the old and the one who is in a state that requires urgent relief.

704 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَتَأَخَّرُ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ فِي الفَجْرِ مِمَّا يُطِيلُ بِنَا فُلاَنٌ فِيهَا، فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مَا رَأَيْتُهُ غَضِبَ فِي مَوْضِعٍ كَانَ أَشَدَّ غَضَبًا مِنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُنَفِّرِينَ، فَمَنْ أَمَّ النَّاسَ فَلْيَتَجَوَّزْ، فَإِنَّ خَلْفَهُ الضَّعِيفَ وَالكَبِيرَ وَذَا الحَاجَةِ»
