مسنَد اَنَسِ بنِ مَالِك رَضِیَ اللَّه عَنه
Musnad of Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 12877 — Musnad of Anas ibn Malik
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعَ بُكَاءَ صَبِيٍّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ، فَخَفَّفَ ، فَظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ خَفَّفَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أُمِّهِ الصلاة رَحْمَةً لِلصَّبِيِّ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard the sound of a child crying while leading the prayer, so he shortened the prayer. We understood that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had shortened the prayer because of the child's mother; this was an expression of compassion for the child.
