حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِسْکِينٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ بَکْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَی بْنُ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي لَأَقُومُ إِلَی الصَّلَاةِ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُطَوِّلَ فِيهَا فَأَسْمَعُ بُکَائَ الصَّبِيِّ فَأَتَجَوَّزُ فِي صَلَاتِي کَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَی أُمِّهِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 868
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi Qatada Al-Ansari: My father said, "Allah's Apostle said, "Whenever I stand for prayer, I want to prolong it but on hearing the cries of a child, I would shorten it as I dislike to put its mother in trouble."
