Al-Lu'lu' wal-Marjan 267 — Command to Imams to Shorten the Prayer
267 صحيح حديث أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي وَاللهِ لأَتأَخَّرُ عَنْ صَلاَةِ الْغَدَاةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ فُلاَنٍ مِمَّا يُطِيلُ بِنَا فِيهَا قَالَ: فَمَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَطُّ أَشَدَّ غَضَبًا فِي مَوْعِظَةٍ مِنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُنَفِّرِينَ؛ فَأَيُّكُمْ مَا صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَلْيُوجِزْ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الْكَبِيرَ وَالضَّعِيفَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ
Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, “O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I do not attend the morning congregation because of so-and-so (Mu’adh bin Jabal or Ubayy bin Ka’b), as he makes the prayer too long for us.” Abu Mas’ud said, “I have never seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) more angry in giving advice and admonition than he was that day. Then he said, ‘O people, some of you make others dislike (the prayer). So whoever among you leads the people in prayer should make it short, for among them are the elderly, the young, and those with needs.’”
