عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنِ الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ:
قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ: مَا أَشْهَدُ الصَّلَاةَ مِمَّا يُطِيلُ بِنَا فُلَانٌ قَالَ: فَمَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ غَضِبَ فِي مَوْعِظَةٍ أَشَدَّ غَضَبًا مِنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ: مَنْ أَمَّ النَّاسَ فَلْيُخَفِّفْ، فَإِنَّ خَلْفَهُ الضَّعِيفَ، وَالْكَبِيرَ، وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ
Translation
✧ A man said to the Prophet ﷺ: "I do not attend the prayer because of how long so-and-so makes it for us." He said: I never saw the Prophet ﷺ angrier in an exhortation than he was that day. He said: "Whoever leads the people should lighten, for behind him are the weak, the elderly, and the one with a need."
