Arabic text

985 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، وَحُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «يُوجِزُ، وَيُتِمُّ الصَّلَاةَ»

Commentary

This explains the meaning of shortening the prayer, which is to perform all its essentials with complete devotion and tranquility, but the recitations and supplications must not be so long as to annoy the worshippers.
