Musnad Ahmad 10306 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ : مَالِكٌ . وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ ، قََالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ بِالنَّاسِ فَلْيُخَفِّفْ ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِمْ الضَّعِيفَ وَالسَّقِيمَ وَالْكَبِيرَ ، وَإِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ لِنَفْسِهِ فَلْيُطَوِّلْ مَا شَاءَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any one of you leads the prayer as an imam, he should make the prayer light, because among the worshippers are the elderly, the weak, and the sick. However, when he prays alone, he may make it as long as he wishes.
