I never prayed behind any Imam a prayer lighter and more perfect than that behind the Prophet ﷺ and he used to cut short the prayer whenever he heard the cries of a child lest he should put the child's mother to trial.

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ مَا صَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءَ إِمَامٍ قَطُّ أَخَفَّ صَلاَةً وَلاَ أَتَمَّ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَيَسْمَعُ بُكَاءَ الصَّبِيِّ فَيُخَفِّفُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ تُفْتَنَ أُمُّهُ

I never prayed behind an Imam who was more brief and more perfect in prayer than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَا صَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءَ إِمَامٍ قَطُّ أَخَفَّ صَلاَةً وَلاَ أَتَمَّ صَلاَةً مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ

[AI] I heard Anas saying, "I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turning away from his right side."

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ «رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْصَرِفُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ»

[AI] "And I heard Anas ibn Malik saying: Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Make things easy and do not make things difficult, and calm people down and do not drive them away."

وَسَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَسِّرُوا وَلَا تُعَسِّرُوا وَسَكِّنُوا وَلَا تُنَفِّرُوا

[AI] I heard Anas ibn Malik saying that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from the prayer to his right.

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ

[AI] I heard Anas ibn Malik say, "The Prophet ﷺ used to perform salah with utmost humility."

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ أَخَفِّ النَّاسِ صَلَاةً فِي تَمَامٍ

[AI] I heard Anas ibn Malik say: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon from the pulpit."

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ

[AI] I heard Anas ibn Malik saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman never missed saying the takbir."

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ لَا يَنْقُصُونَ التَّكْبِيرَ

[AI] I have never prayed behind an Imam who was more humble and performed the prayer more complete than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .

مَا صَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءَ إِمَامٍ قَطُّ أَخَفَّ وَلَا أَتَمَّ صَلَاةً مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

[AI] I heard Anas bin Malik saying, "The Prophet ﷺ used to observe one of the most concealed prayers at the end."

قَالَسَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ أَخَفِّ النَّاسِ صَلَاةً فِي تَمَامٍ

[AI] I heard Anas ibn Malik say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to allow it and complete it, meaning he would shorten the prayer.

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُجَوِّزُهَا وَيُكْمِلُهَا يَعْنِي يُخَفِّفُ الصَّلَاةَ

[AI] I accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in battle, and I never prayed behind an imam who led the people in prayer lighter than the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .

غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَا صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ إِمَامٍ يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ أَخَفَّ صَلَاةً مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

[AI] I heard Anas bin Malik saying, "Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ used to prefer or turn away from his right side."

سَمِعْتَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَنْصَرِفُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ»

[AI] He heard Anas ibn Malik saying, "I have never prayed behind an imam who performs the prayer more perfectly and completely than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ «مَا صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ إِمَامٍ قَطُّ أَخَفَّ صَلَاةً وَلَا أَتَمَّ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ»

قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُما بقي أحد صلي القبلتين كلتاهما غيري

"عَنْ سُلَيْمَان التَّيْمِىِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ: مَا بَقِى أحَدٌ مَّمِنْ صَلَّى القِبْلَتَيْن غَيْرِى".
