عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ: "
إِذَا كُنْتَ إِمَامًا فَاحْذِفِ الصَّلَاةَ، فَإِنَّ فِي النَّاسِ الْكَبِيرَ، وَالضَّعِيفَ، وَالْمُعْتَلَّ، وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ، وَإِذَا صَلَّيْتَ وَحْدَكَ فَطَوِّلْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ، وَأَبْرِدْ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ، فِي كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ يُقْرَأُ فِيهَا، مَا أَسْمَعَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَسْمَعْنَاكُمْ، وَمَا أَخْفَى عَلَيْنَا أَخْفَيْنَاهُ مِنْكُمْ
Translation
✧ When you are an imam, make the prayer light, for among the people are the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the one with a need. When you pray alone, lengthen it as you like. And wait for the prayer to cool, for intense heat is from the blaze of Hell. In every prayer in which something is recited, what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made us hear, we make you hear; and what he concealed from us, we conceal from you.
