[Machine] He said, "I have not seen a man who resembles the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ more than Fulan, to an imam who was in Madinah." Sulayman bin Yasār said, "I prayed behind him and he used to lengthen the first two rak'ahs of Dhuhr and shorten the last two. He would also shorten 'Asr and recite a shortened recitation in the first two rak'ahs of Maghrib and 'Isha, and recite a medium recitation in the first two rak'ahs of 'Isha. He would recite a long recitation in Fajr." Ad-Dahhak said, "And someone informed me that Anas bin Malik said, 'I have not seen anyone who resembles the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ more than this young man,' meaning 'Umar bin 'Abdul-'Aziz. Ad-Dahhak said, 'I prayed behind 'Umar bin 'Abdul-'Aziz and he used to do the same as Sulayman bin Yasār described.'"
أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا أَشْبَهَ صَلَاةً بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ فُلَانٍ لِإِمَامٍ كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ فَصَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَهُ فَكَانَ يُطِيلُ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ وَيُخَفِّفُ الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ وَيُخَفِّفُ الْعَصْرَ وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ بِقِصَارِ الْمُفَصَّلِ وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الْعِشَاءِ مِنْ وَسَطِ الْمُفَصَّلِ وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الْغَدَاةِ بِطُوَالِ الْمُفَصَّلِ قَالَ الضَّحَّاكُ وَحَدَّثَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَشْبَهَ صَلَاةً بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ هَذَا الْفَتَى يَعْنِي عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ الضَّحَّاكُ فَصَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَكَانَ يَصْنَعُ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ
