Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The iqamah for the prayer was called, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out while I was with him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) shortened his steps and said: "I did this only so that the number of my steps in seeking the prayer would increase."
