90. Narrated Abū Mas'ūd Al-Anṣārī رضي الله عنه: Once a man said to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ "O Allāh's Messenger! I may not attend the (compulsory congregational) Ṣalāt (prayer) because so and so (the Imām) prolongs the Ṣalāt when he leads us for it." The narrator added: "I never saw the Prophet ﷺ more furious in giving advice than he was on that day. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O people! Some of you make others dislike good deeds (Ṣalāt etc.). So whoever leads the people in prayer should shorten it because among them there are the sick, the weak and the one who is in a state that requires urgent relief (having some urgent jobs to do)."

90 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لاَ أَكَادُ أُدْرِكُ الصَّلاَةَ مِمَّا يُطَوِّلُ بِنَا فُلاَنٌ، فَمَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَوْعِظَةٍ أَشَدَّ غَضَبًا مِنْ يَوْمِئِذٍ، فَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّكُمْ مُنَفِّرُونَ، فَمَنْ صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَلْيُخَفِّفْ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ المَرِيضَ، وَالضَّعِيفَ، وَذَا الحَاجَةِ»
