Urging gentleness with people in prayer

The Shaykh : It is not hidden from any of us what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did regarding Mu'adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him). Mu'adh ibn Jabal used to pray the 'Isha' prayer with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then he would go to his people and lead them in that prayer. One night, he began reciting Surat al-Baqarah. He was with a man from the farmers, and you know that a farmer is often in a hurry, tired, and wanting to sleep. When Mu'adh started reciting al-Baqarah, the man left and prayed alone without him. Mu'adh ibn Jabal spoke about him, but when that reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he spoke to Mu'adh and said to him: What does "a tempter" mean? It means one who diverts people from the path of Allah. Because if an imam prolongs the prayer to this extent, people will leave praying with him and abandon the congregational prayer. So, the one who leads people in five, seven, or nine rak'ahs in a row may drive people away and make it difficult for them. A person who prays alone can pray as much as he wishes, but when he prays with people, he must consider their circumstances because he is in authority over them. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What is the answer? So, a person who has authority over a group of people must consider the people. If he is an imam, he should shorten the prayer.
