عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ يَزْدَوَيْهِ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ وَعُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَامِلٌ عَلَيْهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْتَخْلَفَ قَالَ فَسَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَكَانَ بِهِ وَضَحٌ شَدِيدٌ قَالَ وَكَانَ عُمَرُ يُصَلِّي بِنَا فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَشْبَهَ صَلَاةً بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ هَذَا الْفَتَى كَانَ يُخَفِّفُ فِي تَمَامٍ
It is narrated from Uthman bin Yazdawiyah, he says: I went to Madinah Munawwarah in the company of Umar bin Yazid, at that time Umar bin Abdul Aziz was the governor there before becoming the caliph. At that time, I heard Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who had many white marks of leukoderma on his body, saying: He said, "I have not seen anyone who performs prayer more like the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) than this young man, i.e., Umar bin Abdul Aziz. Despite performing the complete prayer, he used to perform it briefly."
