حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ عَنْ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ أَتَی النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَتَأَخَّرُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ فُلَانٍ لِمَا يُطِيلُ بِنَا فِيهَا قَالَ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَطُّ فِي مَوْعِظَةٍ أَشَدَّ غَضَبًا مِنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ مِنْکُمْ مُنَفِّرِينَ فَأَيُّکُمْ مَا صَلَّی بِالنَّاسِ فَلْيُجَوِّزْ فَإِنَّ فِيهِمْ الضَّعِيفَ وَالْکَبِيرَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 984
It was narrated that Abu Mas'ud said: "A man came to the Prophet P.B.U.H and said: '0 Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H I stay behind and do not perform the morning prayer (in congregation) because of so-and-so, for he makes it too long for us.' I never saw the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H Preaching with such anger as he did that day. He said: '0 people! There are among you those who repel others. Whoever among you leads others in prayer, let him keep it short, for among them are those who are weak and elderly, and those who have pressing needs.''(Sahih)
