Hadith 270
اُردوEn
270 صحيح حديث أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: مَا صَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءَ إِمَامٍ قَطُّ أَخَفَّ صَلاَةً وَلاَ أَتَمَّ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؛ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَيَسْمَعُ بُكَاءَ الصَّبِيِّ فيُخَفِّفُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ تُفْتَنَ أُمُّهُ
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I have never offered a lighter yet complete prayer behind any Imam than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). His condition was such that if he heard the cry of a child, he would shorten the prayer out of concern that the child's mother might become distressed.
