Musnad of Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas
Musnad Abi Ya'la 743 — I heard Sayyiduna Umar say to Sayyiduna Sa'd
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ لِسَعْدٍ : « لَقَدْ شَكَاكَ أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ حَتَّى قَالُوا : لَا يُحْسِنُ يُصَلِّي . قَالَ : أَنَا ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ [ قَالَ ] : فَوَاللهِ مَا كُنْتُ لِآلُو بِهِمْ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَرْكُدُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ وَأَحْذِفُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ ، فَسَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ لَهُ : ذَلِكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ ، ذَلِكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ » .
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) say to Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him): "The people of Kufah have complained about you, so much so that they said that you do not lead the prayer well." Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I?" He said: "Yes." He said: "By Allah! I did not fall short in leading them in prayer according to the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); I would lengthen the first two rak'ahs and shorten the last two rak'ahs." Then I heard Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) say to him: "That is what is thought of you, that is what is thought of you."
