1386 - (ق) عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم فَقَالَ: يَا رَسولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي وَاللهِ لأَتَأَخَّرُ عَنْ صَلاَةِ الغَدَاةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ فُلاَنٍ، مِمَّا يُطِيلُ بِنَا فِيهَا، قَالَ: فَمَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم قَطُّ أَشَدَّ غَضَباً في مَوْعِظَةٍ مِنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: (يا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُنَفِّرِينَ [1] ، فَأَيُّكُمْ مَا صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَلْيُوجِزْ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الْكَبِيرَ وَالضَّعِيفَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ) .
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."
