حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ شَكَا أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ سَعْدًا إِلَى عُمَرَ فَقَالُوا لَا يُحْسِنُ يُصَلِّي فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرُ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَمَّا صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَدْ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي بِهِمْ أَرْكُدُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ وَأَحْذِفُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ يَا أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1557
It was narrated that Jabir bin Samurah said: The people of Koofah complained about Saad to 'Umar, and said: He does not pray properly. 'Umar mentioned that to him and he said: The way the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) prayed is how I lead them in prayer; I make it longer in the first two ( rak’ahs ) and shorter in the last two. He said: That is what I thought of you, O Abu Ishaq.
