It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Such-and-such Imam leads a long prayer, so I stay behind from the prayer. Abu Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I have never seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) more angry in giving advice than on that day. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Indeed, some of you want to make people dislike the religion. Surely, some of you want to make people dislike the religion. Whoever among you leads the prayer should make it light, for among the congregation are the elderly, the sick, the weak, and those who have needs to attend to.” (Everyone’s condition should be considered)
