The ruling on prolonging the recitation, bowing, and prostration in the obligatory prayers

Question:
He asks and says: What is the ruling on reciting from the long surahs, and prolonging the prostration and bowing in the Friday prayer, or in any other obligatory prayer?

Answer:
The Sunnah is for the prayer to be moderate, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. He would be calm in the bowing and prostration. If he lengthened the recitation, he would lengthen the prostration and bowing, and if he shortened it, he would shorten it. The prayer should be moderate and balanced. Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I observed the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) — meaning I measured and estimated it — and I found that his standing, his bowing, his rising after the bowing, his prostration, and his sitting between the two prostrations were nearly equal." In another narration: "except for the standing and the sitting," meaning: his standing for the recitation was somewhat longer, and his sitting for the tashahhud was somewhat longer.
So the Sunnah is for his standing to be somewhat longer, and likewise his sitting for the tashahhud. But his bowing, his prostration, his rising after the bowing, and his rising between the two prostrations should all be complete, with tranquility, and balanced with the standing and the sitting. Yes.
