7159. Narrated Abū Mas'ūd Al-Anṣārī: A man came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! By Allāh, I fail to attend the morning congregational Ṣalāt (prayer) because so-and-so (i.e., Mu'ādh bin Jabal) prolongs the Ṣalāt (prayer) when he leads us for it." I had never seen the Prophet ﷺ more furious in giving advice than he was on that day. He then said, "O people! Some of you make others dislike [good deeds, i.e. Ṣalāt (prayer) etc.]. So whoever among you leads the people in Ṣalāt (prayer), he should shorten it (make it brief) because among them there are the old, the weak and the one who is in a state that requires urgent relief (having some urgent jobs to do)." [See Hadīth Vol. 1, No. 90)

٧١٥٩ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: «جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي وَاللهِ لَأَتَأَخَّرُ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ فُلَانٍ مِمَّا يُطِيلُ بِنَا فِيهَا، قَالَ: فَمَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَطُّ أَشَدَّ غَضَبًا فِي مَوْعِظَةٍ مِنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُنَفِّرِينَ، فَأَيُّكُمْ مَا صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَلْيُوجِزْ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الْكَبِيرَ وَالضَّعِيفَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ.»
