ONE HADITH A DAY
Narrated by Bukhari · Authentic hadith
عن أبي مسعود الأنصاري رضي الله عنه قال: قال رجل يا رسول الله، لا أكاد أدرك الصلاة مما يطول بنا فلان، فما رأيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في موعظة أشد غضبا من يومئذ، فقال: «أيها الناس، إنكم منفرون، فمن صلى بالناس فليخفف، فإن فيهم المريض، والضعيف، وذا الحاجة».
“Abu Mas‘ūd al-Ansāri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, I would almost fail to attend the prayer because so-and-so prolongs it when he leads us." I never saw the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) more angry in giving admonition than he was on that day. He said: "O people, you cause aversion to others. Whoever leads people in prayer should make it brief, for among them are the sick, the weak, and those with needs to be fulfilled."”
