حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ حَيَّانَ يَعْنِي الْبَارِقِيَّ قَالَ قِيلَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ إِنَّ إِمَامَنَا يُطِيلُ الصَّلَاةَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَكْعَتَانِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَفُّ أَوْ مِثْلُ رَكْعَةٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ هَذَا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5044
It was narrated that Hayyan al-Baariqi said: It was Said: to Ibn 'Umar: Our imam makes the prayer lengthy. Ibn Umar said: Two rak'ahs of the messenger of Allah’s prayer were shorter, or were like one rak’ah of this men‘s prayer .
