Sahih al-Bukhari 6890 (Book 93, Hadith 23)
congregational prayer because so-and-so (i.e., Mu`adh bin Jabal) prolongs the prayer when he leads us
for it.” I had never seen the Prophet (ﷺ) more furious in giving advice than he was on that day. He then
said, “O people! some of you make others dislike (good deeds, i.e. prayers etc). So whoever among
you leads the people in prayer, he should shorten it because among them there are the old, the weak
and the busy (needy having some jobs to do). (See Hadith No. 90, Vol. 1)
“ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُنَفِّرِينَ، فَأَيُّكُمْ مَا صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَلْيُوجِزْ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الْكَبِيرَ وَالضَّعِيفَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ ”.
