حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ وَبِشْرُ بْنُ بَکْرٍ عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي لَأَقُومُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُطَوِّلَ فِيهَا فَأَسْمَعُ بُکَائَ الصَّبِيِّ فَأَتَجَوَّزُ کَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يَشُقَّ عَلَی أُمِّهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 991
It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah that his father said: "The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said: 'I get up to perform prayer and I intend to make it long. but then I hear an infant crying. so Imake it short, because I do not like to cause distress to his mother:" (Sahih)
