حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَی حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي لَأَدْخُلُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ إِطَالَتَهَا فَأَسْمَعُ بُکَائَ الصَّبِيِّ فَأَتَجَوَّزُ فِي صَلَاتِي مِمَّا أَعْلَمُ لِوَجْدِ أُمِّهِ بِبُکَائِهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 989
It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said: 'Istart prayer and I want to make it long, but then I hear an infant crying, so I make my prayer short, because I know the distress caused to the mother by his crying:" (Sahih)
