وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَوْنٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : " قَالَ عُمَرُ لِسَعْدٍ قَدْ شَكَوْكَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ، حَتَّى فِي الصَّلَاةِ ، قَالَ : أَمَّا أَنَا ، فَأَمُدُّ فِي الأُولَيَيْنِ ، وَأَحْذِفُ فِي الأُخْرَيَيْنِ ، وَمَا آلُو مَا اقْتَدَيْتُ بِهِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : ذَاكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ أَوْ ذَاكَ ظَنِّي بِكَ " ،
Jabir bin ahadeeth reported: 'Umar said to Sa'd: They complain against you in every matter, even in prayer. He (Sa'd) said: I prolong (standing) in the first two (rak'ahs) and shorten it in the last two, and I make no negligence in following the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . He ('Umar) remarked: This is what is expected of you, or, that is what I deemed of you.
