Hadith text

Narrated Abu Mas`ud Al-Ansari:A man came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! By Allah, I fail to attend the morning 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)

Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari bataate hain: Ek shaks Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ke paas aaya aur kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Allah ki qasam, main subah ki jamaat ki namaz mein shaamil nahi ho paata kyunke falaan-falaan (yaani Mu'adh bin Jabal) namaz lambi kar dete hain jab wo hamein padhaate hain.' Maine Nabi (SAW) ko naseehat dete waqt is din se zyaada kabhi gusse mein nahi dekha. Unhone kaha, 'Aye logo! Tum mein se kuch log doosron ko (nek amaal, yaani namaz waghera) napasand karwaate hain. Isliye jo bhi tum mein se logon ko namaz padhaaye, use use chhota karna chaahiye kyunke unmein boodhe, kamzor, aur mashghool (kaam-kaaji) log hote hain.' (Poori tafseel ke liye Hadees No. 90, Jild dekhein.)
