اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَهَكَذَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي لَكُمْ؟ قَالَ: وَمَا أَنْكَرْتَ مِنْ صَلَاتِي؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَرَدْتُّ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ وَأَوْجَزَ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ قِيَامُهُ قَدْرَ مَا يَنْزِلُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ مِنَ الْمَنَارَةِ وَيَصِلُ إِلَى الصَّفِّ
(Second chain of narration) His father says: I said to Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him: Did the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, use to lead you in prayer like this? He asked: What have you found objectionable in my prayer? I said: I want to ask you about this (shortening). He said: Yes, and it used to be even shorter than this. (Consider that) the duration of the standing (qiyam) of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was as long as it would take the muezzin to descend from the minaret and join the row.
