Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 4753 — Those who lightened the prayer
٤٧٥٣ - حدثنا شريك عن أبي هارون عن أبي سعيد فيما (نعلم) (١) عن النبي ﷺ قال: "إِنِّي لأَكُوُن فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَأَسْمَعُ بُكَاءَ الصَّبِيِّ فَأُخَفِّفُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ أشُقَّ عَلَى أُمِّهِ أو قال: أَنْ تُفْتَنَ أُمُّهُ" (٢).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (al-Khudri) (may Allah be pleased with him), as far as we know, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sometimes I am in the prayer and I hear the crying of a child, so I shorten the prayer for fear of causing hardship to his mother" - or he said: "lest his mother be put to trial."
