Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2161 — a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: O
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : نَا مَعْمَرُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ قَالَ : نَا عَامِرُ بْنُ مُدْرِكٍ ، عَنْ خَلَّادٍ الصَّفَّارِ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ : أَتَى رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنِّي لَأَتَخَلَّفُ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ مِمَّا يُطَوِّلُ بِنَا فُلَانٌ ، فَمَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- غَضِبَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ أَشَدَّ مِمَّا غَضِبَ مِنْ هَذَا ، فَقَالَ : أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُنَفِّرِينَ ، فَأَيُّكُمْ صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَلْيُخَفِّفْ ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الصَّغِيرَ وَالْكَبِيرَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I stay away from the (congregational) prayer because so-and-so makes the prayer long for us." Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I never saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) more intensely angry about anything than he was about this. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people, some of you drive people away (from the religion). So whoever of you leads the people in prayer, let him make it light, for among them are the young, the old and those with needs."
