The Prophet ﷺ said, "When I start the prayer I intend to prolong it, but on hearing the cries of a child, I cut short the prayer because I know that the cries of the child will incite its mother's passions."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنِّي لأَدْخُلُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ إِطَالَتَهَا فَأَسْمَعُ بُكَاءَ الصَّبِيِّ فَأَتَجَوَّزُ فِي صَلاَتِي مِمَّا أَعْلَمُ مِنْ شِدَّةِ وَجْدِ أُمِّهِ مِنْ بُكَائِهِ

My father said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whenever I stand for prayer, I want to prolong it but on hearing the cries of a child, I would shorten it as I dislike to put its mother in trouble."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لأَقُومُ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُطَوِّلَ فِيهَا فَأَسْمَعُ بُكَاءَ الصَّبِيِّ فَأَتَجَوَّزُ فِي صَلاَتِي كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمِّهِ

So, I would shorten my prayer out of knowing the intensity of his mother's worry due to his crying."

الله عَلَيه وَسَلَّم إني لأسمع بكاء الصبي خلفي وَأنا في الصلاة فأتجوز فيها أحسبه قال مما أعلم من وجد أمه

"إِنِّى لأدخُلُ فِى الصَّلَاةِ وَأَنَا أُريدُ أنْ أطِيلَها فَأسْمَعُ بُكَاءَ الصّبىّ. فَأتَجَوَّزُ فِى صَلاِتى مِمَّا أَعلَمُ مِنْ شِدَّةِ وَجْدِ أُمّهِ بِبُكَائِهِ" .
