Explanation of the Book of the Adhan-08a

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The reciter: Muhammad ibn Yusuf narrated to us, Sufyan narrated to us, from Isma'il ibn Abi Khalid, from Qays ibn Abi Hazim, from Abu Mas'ud, who said: A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am late for the Fajr prayer because so-and-so prolongs it for us." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) became angry; I never saw him become angrier in any situation than he was on that day. Then he said:

O people! Some of you make others dislike the prayer, so whoever becomes an Imam he should shorten the prayer, as behind him are the weak, the old and the needy.

يا أيها الناس إن منكم منفرين فمن أم الناس فليتجوز فإن خلفه الضعيف والكبير وذا الحاجة

Sahih al-Bukhari 704
