10.63 Complaining against one's Imam if he prolongs the prayer.
١٠۔٦٣ باب مَنْ شَكَا إِمَامَهُ إِذَا طَوَّلَ
[Machine] And Abu Usaid said, "You've made us wait for a long time, my son."
وَقَالَ أَبُو أُسَيْدٍ طَوَّلْتَ بِنَا يَا بُنَيَّ.
[Machine] And Abu Usaid said, "You've made us wait for a long time, my son."
وَقَالَ أَبُو أُسَيْدٍ طَوَّلْتَ بِنَا يَا بُنَيَّ.
A man came and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I keep away from the morning prayer because so-and-so (Imam) prolongs it too much." Messenger of Allah ﷺ became furious and I had never seen him more furious than he was on that day. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O people! Some of you make others dislike the prayer, so whoever becomes an Imam he should shorten the prayer, as behind him are the weak, the old and the needy.''
رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَتَأَخَّرُ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ فِي الْفَجْرِ مِمَّا يُطِيلُ بِنَا فُلاَنٌ فِيهَا فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ غَضِبَ فِي مَوْضِعٍ كَانَ أَشَدَّ غَضَبًا مِنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُنَفِّرِينَ فَمَنْ أَمَّ النَّاسَ فَلْيَتَجَوَّزْ فَإِنَّ خَلْفَهُ الضَّعِيفَ وَالْكَبِيرَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ
Once a man was driving two Nadihas (camels used for agricultural purposes) and night had fallen. He found Muʿadh praying so he made his camel kneel and joined Muʿadh in the prayer. The latter recited Surat 'Al-Baqara" or Surat "An-Nisa", (so) the man left the prayer and went away. When he came to know that Muʿadh had criticized him, he went to the Prophet, and complained against Muʿadh. The Prophet said thrice, "O Muʿadh ! Are you putting the people to trial?" It would have been better if you had recited "Sabbih Isma Rabbika-l-Aʿla (87)", Wash-shamsi wa duhaha (91)", or "Wal-laili idha yaghsha (92)", for the old, the weak and the needy pray behind you." Jabir said that Muʿadh recited Sura Al-Baqara in the ʿIsha' prayer.
أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ بِنَاضِحَيْنِ وَقَدْ جَنَحَ اللَّيْلُ فَوَافَقَ مُعَاذًا يُصَلِّي فَتَرَكَ نَاضِحَهُ وَأَقْبَلَ إِلَى مُعَاذٍ فَقَرَأَ بِسُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ أَوِ النِّسَاءِ فَانْطَلَقَ الرَّجُلُ وَبَلَغَهُ أَنَّ مُعَاذًا نَالَ مِنْهُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ مُعَاذًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا مُعَاذُ أَفَتَّانٌ أَنْتَ أَوْ فَاتِنٌ ثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ فَلَوْلاَ صَلَّيْتَ بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى فَإِنَّهُ يُصَلِّي وَرَاءَكَ الْكَبِيرُ وَالضَّعِيفُ وَذُو الْحَاجَةِ أَحْسِبُ هَذَا فِي الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَتَابَعَهُ سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَسْرُوقٍ وَمِسْعَرٌ وَالشَّيْبَانِيُّ قَالَ عَمْرٌو وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مِقْسَمٍ وَأَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَرَأَ مُعَاذٌ فِي الْعِشَاءِ بِالْبَقَرَةِ وَتَابَعَهُ الأَعْمَشُ عَنْ مُحَارِبٍ
