Musnad Abi Ya'la 1795 — Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b led the people
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ جَارِيَةَ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : صَلَّى أُبَيٌّ بِالنَّاسِ فِي قُبَاءٍ ، وَدَخَلَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ غُلَامٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَلَهُ سِقْيٌ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أُبَيًّا يَقْرَأُ سُورَةً طَوِيلَةً انْفَتَلَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ ، فَلَمَّا انْفَتَلَ أُبَيٌّ أُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : فَعَرَفَ أُبَيٌّ أَنَّ الْغُلَامَ يَشْكُو إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، وَقَرُبَ الْغُلَامُ يَشْكُو أُبَيًّا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُنَفِّرِينَ ، فَإِذَا صَلَّيْتُمْ فَأَوْجِرُوا ، أَوْ قَالَ : فَأَوْجِزُوا - شَكَّ أَبُو يَحْيَى أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ - فَإِنَّ خَلْفَكُمُ الْكَبِيرَ وَالْمَرِيضَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) led the people in prayer in Quba', and a young man of the Ansar, who had the duty of watering, joined the prayer. When he saw that Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) was reciting a long surah, he broke off his prayer and left. When Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) finished the prayer, he was informed of this incident, whereupon Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) realised that the young man would complain about him to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So the young man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with a complaint against Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, among you are some who drive people away. So when you lead the prayer, be brief," (or he said) "keep it short" (here the narrator Abu Yahya was in doubt about the word), or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "for behind you are the elderly, the sick and the needy."
