[Machine] A man said to the Prophet ﷺ , "I do not witness the prayer because so-and-so prolongs it." I did not see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ get angrier in a sermon than he did that day. Then he said, "Whoever leads the people in prayer, let him shorten it, as there are weak, young, old, and those in need behind him."
رَجُلٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَا أَشْهَدُ الصَّلَاةَ مِمَّا يُطِيلُ بِنَا فُلَانٌ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ غَضِبَ فِي مَوْعِظَةٍ أَشَدَّ غَضَبًا مِنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَنْ أَمَّ النَّاسَ فَلْيُخَفِّفْ بِهِمْ فَإِنَّ خَلْفَهُ الضَّعِيفَ وَالصَّغِيرَ وَالْكَبِيرَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ»
