974. It was narrated that Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī said: "The Iqāmah for Zuhr prayer would be said, and a person could go to Al-Baqī, relieve himself, perform Wudhū' and come (to the Masjid), and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would still be in the first Rak'ah, making it lengthy." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
973 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ قَزَعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدِ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: «لَقَدْ كَانَتْ صَلَاةُ الظُّهْرِ تُقَامُ، فَيَذْهَبُ الذَّاهِبُ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ فَيَقْضِي حَاجَتَهُ، ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ، ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى يُطَوِّلُهَا»

People would stand behind the Prophet ﷺ (in prayer) with great enthusiasm and fervor. Due to the blessedness of his company and assembly, they experienced great delight in standing long. His spirituality would encompass them all. That is why his standing for long was most appropriate. There is guidance for brevity for other prayer-leaders.
