[Machine] Abu Hurairah said, "If you are an imam, then shorten the prayer, for among the people there are elderly, weak, and those in need. But if you pray alone, then prolong what appears good to you. In every prayer, recite aloud, for what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard, we also hear, and what he whispered, we also whispered. Then, a man asked him, 'What do you think if I do not exceed the Umm al-Quran?' He said, 'If you exceed it, it is good, and if you reach it, it suffices you.'"
قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ إِذَا كُنْتَ إِمَامًا فَخَفِّفْ فَإِنَّ فِي النَّاسِ الْكَبِيرَ وَالضَّعِيفَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ وَإِذَا صَلَّيْتَ وَحْدَكَ فَطَوِّلْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ وَفِي كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ اقْرَأْ فَمَا أَسْمَعَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَسْمَعْنَاكُمْ وَمَا أَخْفَى عَنَّا أَخْفَيْنَا عَنْكُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَزِدْ عَلَى أُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ؟ قَالَ إِنْ زِدْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ وَإِنِ انْتَهَيْتَ إِلَيْهَا أَجْزَأَ عَنْكَ
