[Machine] Abdullah used to say: "Perform this prayer properly and keep the sermons short."  

الطبراني:٩٤٩٢حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ الْأَزْدِيُّ ثنا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ثنا زَائِدَةُ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ قَيْسٍ قَالَ

كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَقُولُ «أَحْسِنُوا هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ وَاقْصُرُوا هَذِهِ الْخُطَبَ»
