770. Narrated Jābir bin Samura: 'Umar رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ said to Sa'd, "The people complained against you in everything, even in Ṣalāt (prayer)." Sa'd replied, "Really, I used to prolong the first two Rak'ā and shorten the last two and I will never shorten the Ṣalāt in which I follow Allāh's Messenger ﷺ." Umar said, "You are telling the truth and that is what I think about you."

Arabic text

770 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي عَوْنٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الثَّقَفِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ لِسَعْدٍ: لَقَدْ شَكَوْكَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى الصَّلاَةِ، قَالَ: «أَمَّا أَنَا، فَأَمُدُّ فِي الأُولَيَيْنِ وَأَحْذِفُ فِي الأُخْرَيَيْنِ، وَلاَ آلُو مَا اقْتَدَيْتُ بِهِ مِنْ صَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ» قَالَ: صَدَقْتَ ذَاكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ أَوْ ظَنِّي بِكَ
