English translation

826. It was narrated from 'Abdullāh bin Abī Qatādah, from his father, that the Prophet ﷺ said: “I stand in prayer, then I hear a child crying, so I make my prayer brief, because I do not want to cause hardship for his mother.” (Saḥīḥ)

Arabic text

825 - أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنِّي لَأَقُومُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَأَسْمَعُ بُكَاءَ الصَّبِيِّ فَأُوجِزُ فِي صَلَاتِي كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمِّهِ»

Commentary

1. People in the congregation are of different sorts. Among them, there might be the excused, temperamentally weak, diseased, old, young, women having children, working people, busy people, etc. Hence, the prayer-leader ought to lead a light prayer. 2. A solitary worshipper may prolong his prayer according to his vitality and stamina.
