Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir 2100 — A man's lengthening of his prayer
«إن طول صلاة الرجل وقصر خطبته مئنة من فقهه فأطيلوا الصلاة وأقصروا الخطبة وإن من البيان لسحرا»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"A man's lengthening of his prayer and shortening of his sermon is a sign of his understanding (deep understanding of the religion). So lengthen the prayer and shorten the sermon, and indeed some eloquence (and speech) has (the effect of) magic."
