This hadith is listed as number 1060 in Maktaba Shamila
حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : " إِنِّي لَا آلُو ، أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ بِكُمْ ، كَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بِنَا ، قَالَ : فَكَانَ أَنَسٌ ، يَصْنَعُ شَيْئًا لَا أَرَاكُمْ تَصْنَعُونَهُ ، كَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ ، انْتَصَبَ قَائِمًا ، حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ : قَدْ نَسِيَ ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السَّجْدَةِ مَكَثَ ، حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ : قَدْ نَسِيَ " .
Thabit reported it on the authority of Anas (RA) : While leading you in prayer I do not shorten anything in the prayer. I pray as I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) leading us. He (Thabit) said: Anas used to do that which I do not see you doing; when he lifted his head from bowing he stood up (so long) that one would say: He has forgotten (to bow down in prostration). And when he lifted his head from prostration, he stayed in that position, till someone would say: He has forgotten (to bow down in prostration for the second sajda).
