Hadith #125
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي قُرَّةَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ عَنْ شَرِيكٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ مَا صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ إِمَامٍ أَخَفَّ صَلَاةً مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَا أَتَمَّ وَإِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيَسْمَعُ بُكَاءَ الصَّبِيِّ فَيُخَفِّفُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ تُفْتَتَنَ أُمُّهُ
English Translation
Ubaydullah ibn Abi Qurrah narrated to us, Sulayman ibn Bilal narrated to us, from Sharik, that he heard Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) saying: I never prayed behind an imam lighter in prayer yet more complete than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. If he heard a child crying, he would shorten the prayer, fearing that the child's mother might be distressed.
