English translation

[1061] 196 - (473) It was narrated that Anas said: "I have never prayed behind anyone who made the prayer so brief yet perfect as the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ did. The prayer of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was well balanced. And the prayer of Abû Bakr was well balanced, too. During the time of 'Umar bin Al-Khaţţâb, he made the Fajr prayer lengthy. But when the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Sami'a Allâhu liman hamidah,' he would stand for so long that we would think, he has forgotten. Then he would prostrate, and he would sit for so long between the two prostrations that we would think he has forgotten."

Arabic text

196 - (473) وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: مَا صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ أَحَدٍ أَوْجَزَ صَلَاةً مِنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي تَمَامٍ، كَانَتْ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُتَقَارِبَةً، وَكَانَتْ صَلَاةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ مُتَقَارِبَةً، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مَدَّ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذَا قَالَ: «سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ» قَامَ، حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ أَوْهَمَ، ثُمَّ يَسْجُدُ وَيَقْعُدُ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ أَوْهَمَ
