حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ
مَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا أَشْبَهَ صَلَاةً بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ فُلَانٍ، لِإِمَامٍ كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ. قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ: فَصَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَهُ، فَكَانَ يُطِيلُ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ وَيُخَفِّفُ الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ، وَيُخَفِّفُ الْعَصْرَ، وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ بِقِصَارِ الْمُفَصَّلِ، وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الْعِشَاءِ مِنْ وَسَطِ الْمُفَصَّلِ، وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الْغَدَاةِ بِطِوَالِ الْمُفَصَّلِ

✧ I have not seen a man whose prayer more closely resembled the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than so-and-so—an imam who was in Madinah. Sulayman b. Yasar said: I prayed behind him, and he used to lengthen the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr and lighten the last two, and lighten 'Asr. In the first two rak'ahs of Maghrib, he would recite the short surahs of the Mufassal; in the first two rak'ahs of 'Isha', he would recite from the middle of the Mufassal; and in the Fajr prayer, he would recite the long surahs of the Mufassal.
