Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any of you leads the people in prayer, he should make it short, because among them are the weak, the sick, and the elderly. But when he prays alone, he may prolong it as much as he wishes.
