[Machine] I heard Abu Hurayrah saying, "I have not seen anyone who resembles the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ more than so-and-so, a man who was the ruler of the city. Sulayman said, 'I prayed behind him and he would lengthen the first two units of Dhuhr prayer and shorten the last two, and he would shorten Asr prayer. He would recite in the first two units of Maghrib prayer with brevity and in the first two units of Isha prayer with moderate recitation, and in the Fajr prayer with prolonged recitation.' Ad-Dahhak said, 'Someone informed me that Anas ibn Malik said, "I have not seen a prayer more resembling the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than this young man," referring to Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz.' Ad-Dahhak said, 'I prayed behind him and he would pray as Sulayman ibn Yasar described.'"
