English narration

Narrated by سعد بن أبي وقاص الزهري

Jabir bin Samurah reported: Umar said to Saad: people complain against you for everything, even for prayer. He replied: I prolong the first two rak’ahs of prayer and make the last two rak’ahs brief; I do not fall short of following the prayer offered by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: I think so about you.

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ أَبِي عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عُمَرُ لِسَعْدٍ : قَدْ شَكَاكَ النَّاسُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى فِي الصَّلَاةِ ، قَالَ : "

أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَمُدُّ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ ، وَأَحْذِفُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ ، وَلَا آلُو مَا اقْتَدَيْتُ بِهِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : ذَاكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ
