“A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! I stay behind and do not perform the morning prayer (in congregation) because of so-and-so, for he makes it too long for us.’ I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ preaching with such anger as he did that day. He said; ‘O people! There are among you those who repel others. Whoever among you leads others in prayer, let him keep it short, for among them are those who are weak and elderly, and those who have pressing needs.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 984)   

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَتَأَخَّرُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ مَخَافَةَ فُلَانٍ يَعْنِي إِمَامَهُمْ قَالَ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَشَدَّ غَضَبًا فِي مَوْعِظَةٍ مِنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُنَفِّرِينَ فَأَيُّكُمْ مَا صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَلْيُخَفِّفْ فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الضَّعِيفَ وَالْكَبِيرَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَتَأَخَّرُ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ مِمَّا يُطِيلُ بِنَا فُلَانٌ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَوْعِظَةٍ أَشَدَّ غَضَبًا مِنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَالَ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُنَفِّرِينَ فَأَيُّكُمْ مَا صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَلْيَتَجَوَّزْ فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الضَّعِيفَ وَالْكَبِيرَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ»  

[Machine] A man said to the Prophet ﷺ , "I do not witness the prayer because so-and-so prolongs it." I did not see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ get angrier in a sermon than he did that day. Then he said, "Whoever leads the people in prayer, let him shorten it, as there are weak, young, old, and those in need behind him."  

رَجُلٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَا أَشْهَدُ الصَّلَاةَ مِمَّا يُطِيلُ بِنَا فُلَانٌ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ غَضِبَ فِي مَوْعِظَةٍ أَشَدَّ غَضَبًا مِنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَنْ أَمَّ النَّاسَ فَلْيُخَفِّفْ بِهِمْ فَإِنَّ خَلْفَهُ الضَّعِيفَ وَالصَّغِيرَ وَالْكَبِيرَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ»  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, I pray behind so-and-so and he prolongs the prayer, so sometimes I get delayed, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became very angry, such anger that I had never seen in any of his admonitions, so he said, 'Indeed, among you are those who cause others to flee. Whoever leads the people in prayer, let him make it light for them, for among them are the weak, the elderly, and those with urgent needs.'"  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إنِّي أُصَلِّي خَلْفَ فُلَانٍ وإنَّهُ يُطِيلُ الصَّلَاةَ فَرُبَّمَا تَأَخَّرْتُ فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَضَبًا مَا رَأَيْتُهُ غَضِبَ فِي مَوْعِظَةٍ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُنَفِّرِينَ مَنْ أَمَّ النَّاسَ فَلْيُخَفِّفْ بِهِمُ الصَّلَاةَ؛ فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الضَّعِيفَ وَالْكَبِيرَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ»  

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I often miss the Fajr prayer because so-and-so prolongs his recitation, and I have never seen you angrier in a sermon than you were on that day." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Whoever leads the people in prayer should shorten it, as among them are the young, the old, the weak, and those with needs."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إنِّي لَأَتَخَلَّفُ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ مِمَّا يُطِيلُ بِنَا فُلَانٌ فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ فَلَمْ أَرَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَوْعِظَةٍ وَعَظَهَا أَشَدَّ مِنْهُ غَضَبًا يَوْمَئِذٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَنْ صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَلْيُخَفِّفْ بِهِمُ الصَّلَاةَ؛ فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الصَّغِيرَ وَالْكَبِيرَ وَالضَّعِيفَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ»
