Benefits of the Hadith: (Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade a man from praying in a hasty manner...)

The Shaykh : Among the benefits of this hadith is the prohibition of haste in prayer, which the jurists expressed by saying "and its brevity". Is this prohibition based on a specific cause? Al-Bukhari clarified from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that it was the practice of the Jews. If it was the practice of the Jews, what is its relevance to the chapter on humility in prayer? If we say the cause is imitating the Jews, then the cause is imitation. If we say the cause is that it indicates a person’s heart has wandered, meaning it is a sign of heedlessness of the heart, then the relevance to the chapter becomes clear, because heedlessness in the heart contradicts humility.
