English

[1016] 158 – (453) It was narrated from Jâbir bin Samurah that the people of Al-Küfah complained about Sa'd to 'Umar bin Al-hattâb, and they complained about his prayer. 'Umar sent for him and he came. He told him how they had found fault with his prayer. He said: "I lead them in prayer according to the prayer of the Messenger of Allah and I do no more and no less than that. I make first two Rak'ah long, and I make the last two short." He said: "That is what I thought of you, Abii Ishâq."
