The ruling on one who prays tarawih with an imam who hastens in the prayer

Question:
The questioner says: If I pray tarawih with the imam, and he does not pray more than seven rak'ahs with two taslims, the shaf', and the witr, do I fall under the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ?

Answer:
Yes, you are included in the hadith if your intention is sincere; you are included in the hadith. The imam is advised to pray for the ma'mumin behind him in a manner that benefits them with Allah. He should be calm in his prayer and not say, "This is tarawih, and this is not [a regular prayer]." This is a prayer; be calm in it and allow the ma'mumin to make du'a', to be humble, and to perform the bowing, prostration, and the pillars of the prayer. This is because some ma'mumin hasten in the tarawih prayer, saying, "This is tarawih." Tarawih is a prayer like the other prayers; it requires calmness. Calmness is a pillar of the prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A man entered the mosque while the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting in the mosque. The man prayed, then came and greeted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned the greeting, then said to him, "Pray again, for you have not prayed." The man returned and prayed like the first prayer. He came and greeted the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Pray again, for you have not prayed." He returned the greeting Then prostrate until you are calm in prostration, and do that in all your prayer. Yes.
