وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هَارُونَ - فِيمَا يَعْلَمُ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ؓ قَالَ:
إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى بِهِمُ الْفَجْرَ، فَقَرَأَ بِهِمْ بِأَقْصَرِ سُورَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، أَوْ أَوْجَزَ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ، قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ، أَوْ مُعَاذٌ ؓ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، رَأَيْتُكَ صَلَّيْتَ صَلَاةً، مَا رَأَيْتُكَ صَلَّيْتَ مِثْلَهَا قَطُّ، قَالَ ﷺ: أَوَمَا سَمِعْتَ بُكَاءَ الصَّبِيِّ خَلْفِي فِي صَفِّ النِّسَاءِ ؟ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُفْرِغَ لَهُ أُمَّهُ

✧ The Prophet ﷺ prayed the dawn prayer with them, and recited to them the two shortest surahs of the Qur'an, or the most concise. He said: When he finished the prayer, Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, or Mu'adh ؓ, said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, I saw you pray a prayer the like of which I have never seen you pray before.' He ﷺ said: 'Did you not hear the crying of the child behind me in the women's row? I wanted to free his mother for him.'
