When does the imam fall under the meaning of the hadith (If one of you leads the prayer, he should shorten it, for there is an old man and a sick person behind him . . . )?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: And he lengthens the prayer for us! So the Messenger sent for Mu'adh, and he said to him:
O Mu'adh! Are you a tempter, O Mu'adh?! يا معاذ ! أفتان أنت يا معاذ ؟!
Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:696
, three times
Are you a tempter, O Mu'adh?! Are you a tempter, O Mu'adh?! , If one of you leads the prayer, he should shorten it, for there is an old man and a sick person behind him أفتان أنت يا معاذ ؟! أفتان أنت يا معاذ ؟! ، إذا أم أحدكم فليخفف ، فإنه يصلي وراءه الكبير والمريض
, and perhaps he mentioned other things
It is sufficient for you to recite with the Sun and its brightness, and the night when it covers, and similar surahs بحسبك أن تقرأ ب والشمس وضحاها ، والليل إذا يغشى ونحوها من السور
, so if an imam leads the people in the 'Isha' prayer and recites surahs of about this length, and one of the praying people says: "My brother, you have lengthened it for us," and he no longer prays behind him, this hadith does not include this imam, but it includes the imam who contradicts the Sunnah, whether in this example or in other examples, this is the meaning of the hadith:
Whoever leads a people and they are averse to him من أم قوما فهم له كارهون
