حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي عَوْنٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الثَّقَفِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ لِسَعْدٍ لَقَدْ شَکَوْکَ فِي کُلِّ شَيْئٍ حَتَّی الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَمُدُّ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ وَأَحْذِفُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ وَلَا آلُو مَا اقْتَدَيْتُ بِهِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ ذَاکَ الظَّنُّ بِکَ أَوْ ظَنِّي بِکَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 770
Narrated Jabir bin Samura: `Umar said to Sa`d, "The people complained against you in everything, even in prayer." Sa`d replied, "Really I used to prolong the first two rak`at and shorten the last two and I will never shorten the prayer in which I follow Allah's Apostle." `Umar said, "You are telling the truth and that is what I think a tout you."
