Hadith 12462

عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ إِمَامًا أَشْبَهَ بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ إِمَامِكُمْ هَذَا لِعُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَهُوَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَكَانَ عُمَرُ لَا يُطِيلُ الْقِرَاءَةَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I have not seen anyone among your leaders who performed prayer like the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) more than this Imam of yours. Umar bin Abdul Aziz did not recite long (portions) in prayer.
