عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: شَكَا أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ سَعْدًا (يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ) إِلَى عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا: لَا يُحْسِنُ يُصَلِّي، قَالَ: فَسَأَلَهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أُصَلِّي بِهِمْ صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْكُدُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ، وَأَحْذِفُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ، قَالَ: ذَلِكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ يَا أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah رضي الله عنه reports that the people of Kufa complained about Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas رضي الله عنه to Sayyiduna Umar رضي الله عنه, saying: “He does not lead the prayer well.” When Sayyiduna Umar رضي الله عنه asked him, he replied: “I lead them in prayer just as the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم used to pray. In the first two rak’ahs, I make the standing (qiyam) long, and in the last two, I shorten it.” Sayyiduna Umar رضي الله عنه said: “Abu Ishaq! That is what I thought of you.”
