Saad's manner of praying Dhuhr and Asr

ahmad:1548 – Sufyān > ʿAbd al-Malik > Jābir b. Samurah

[AI] The people of Kufa complained to Umar about Saad and said, "He does not pray well." He said, "By Allah, I do not fall short with them regarding the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Dhuhr and Asr; I make the first two long and shorten the last two." Then I heard Umar say, "That is what I expected of you, Abu Ishaq."

أحمد:١٥٤٨ – حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، سَمِعَهُ مِنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ

شَكَا أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ سَعْدًا إِلَى عُمَرَ، فَقَالُوا: إِنَّهُ لَا يُحْسِنُ يُصَلِّي. قَالَ آلْأَعَارِيبُ وَاللهِ مَا آلُو بِهِمْ عَنْ صَلاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ، أَرْكُدُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ وَأَحْذِفُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ. فَسَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ: كَذَلِكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ يَا أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ.
