حديث أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي وَاللهِ لأَتأَخَّرُ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ فُلَانٍ مِمَّا يُطِيلُ بِنَا فِيهَا قَالَ: فَمَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَطُّ أَشَدَّ غَضَبًا فِي مَوْعِظَةٍ مِنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُنَفِّرِينَ؛ فَأَيُّكُمْ مَا صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَلْيُوجِزْ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الْكَبِيرَ وَالضَّعِيفَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ.
Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari Narrated from:
A man came to Allâh's Messenger ﷺ and said, "O Allâh's Messenger! By Allâh, I fail to attend the morning congregational prayer because so-and-so (i.e., Mu'âdh bin Jabal) prolongs the prayer when he leads us for it." I had never seen the Prophet ﷺ more furious in giving advice than he was on that day. He then said, "O people! Some of you make others dislike (good deeds, i.e. prayers etc). So whoever among you leads the people in Salât, he should shorten it (make it brief) because among them there are the old, the weak and the busy (needy having some jobs to do). ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 273, Vol. 9 )
