Musnad Abi Ya'la 3360 — I have not prayed behind anyone a prayer
حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : مَا صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ أَحَدٍ أَوْجَزَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي تَمَامٍ ، وَكَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ مُتَقَارِبَةً ، وَكَانَتْ صَلَاةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ مُتَقَارِبَةً ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُمَرُ مَدَّ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَالَ : سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ، قَامَ حَتَّى نَقُولَ : قَدْ أَوْهَمَ ، فَيَسْجُدُ ، وَيَقْعُدُ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ حَتَّى نَقُولَ : قَدْ أَوْهَمَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): I have not prayed behind anyone a prayer briefer yet more complete than that of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The parts of his (peace and blessings be upon him) prayer were balanced with one another. The prayer of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was likewise, but when Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) led the Fajr prayer he would lengthen the recitation. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said 'Sami' Allahu liman hamidah' (Allah hears the one who praises Him), he would remain standing so long that we would think he (peace and blessings be upon him) had perhaps forgotten, then he would prostrate. Likewise he would sit between the two prostrations so long that we would think he (peace and blessings be upon him) had perhaps forgotten.
