[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi reported to us, Sulaiman ibn Bilal narrated, from Amr ibn Yahya, from Mu'adh ibn Rifa'ah al-Zurqi, that a man from the Banu Salimah, called Sulaim, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, we engage in various deeds and when the night falls, Muadh ibn Jabal calls for prayer and we respond. However, he prolongs the prayer for us. Could you please advise him?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "O Muadh, do not cause difficulty. Either pray with me or lighten the burden for your people."
ثنا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ الزُّرَقِيِّ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ سُلَيْمٌ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا نَظَلُّ فِي أَعْمَالِنَا فَنُمْسِي حِينَ نُمْسِي فَيَأْتِي مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ فَيُنَادِي بِالصَّلَاةِ فَنَأْتِيهِ فَيُطَوِّلُ عَلَيْنَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا مُعَاذُ لَا تَكُونُ فَتَّانًا إِمَّا أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ مَعِي وَإِمَّا أَنْ تُخَفِّفَ عَنْ قَوْمِكَ»
