وَحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ أَبُو يُونُسَ، ثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ مِحْجَنِ بْنِ الْأَدْرَعِ ؓ قَالَ:
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يُطِيلُ الصَّلَاةَ، فَأَتَاهُ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِمَنْكِبِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ: إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى رَضِيَ لِهَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بِالتَّيْسِيرِ، وَكَرِهَ لَهَا التَّعْسِيرَ، قَالَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَإِنَّ هَذَا أَخَذَ بِالتَّعْسِيرِ وَتَرَكَ التَّيْسِيرَ، ثُمَّ نَشَلَهُ نَشْلًا، فَمَا رُئِيَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ learned that a man in the mosque was prolonging the prayer, so he came to him, then took hold of his shoulder and said ﷺ: “Indeed Allah, Most High, is pleased with ease for this community and dislikes hardship for it,” he said this three times, “and this man has adopted hardship and abandoned ease.” Then he pulled him away forcefully, and after that he was not seen (doing that).
