Musnad Ahmad 12005

Translation

✧ One night he was praying in his room when some people came and prayed following his prayer. He shortened the prayer and went inside the house, then came out and repeated this several times, each time praying. When morning came, they said, "O Messenger of Allah, you prayed, and we would have liked you to lengthen your prayer." He said, "I knew you were there, and I did that deliberately."
