Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray at night in Ramadan. Some people came and prayed, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept the prayer short. Then he went into his house and prayed alone, then came out and again led a short prayer. The next morning the people said: "O Messenger of Allah! We prayed behind you last night; you went into your house and then came out again." He said: "I did that for your sake."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
