أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَی بْنُ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَقُومُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَأَسْمَعُ بُکَائَ الصَّبِيِّ فَأُوجِزُ فِي صَلَاتِي کَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَی أُمِّهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 829
It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah, from his father, that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “I stand in prayer, then I hear a child crying, so I make my prayer brief, because I do not want to cause hardship for his mother.” (Sahih)
