Hadith of Uthman ibn Abi Al-As from the Prophet (peace be upon him)
Musnad Ahmad 17899 — Hadith of Uthman ibn Abi Al-As from the Prophet
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ طَلْحَةَ ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَؤُمَّ قَوْمَهُ . قَالَ : ثُمَّ قَالَ : " مَنْ أَمَّ قَوْمًا فَلْيُخَفِّفْ ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِمْ الضَّعِيفَ وَالْكَبِيرَ وَالْمَرِيضَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ ، فَإِذَا صَلَّى وَحْدَهُ ، فَلْيُصَلِّ كَيْفَ شَاءَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Lead your people in prayer, and when you lead, make the prayer short, because among the people are children, the elderly, the weak, the sick, and those with needs. However, whoever prays alone may pray as he wishes.
