حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ

يَقُولُ: «مَا صَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءَ إِمَامٍ قَطُّ أَخَفَّ صَلَاةً وَلَا أَتَمَّ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لَيَسْمَعُ بُكَاءَ الصَّبِيِّ فَيُخَفِّفُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ تُفْتَنَ أُمُّهُ»

I never prayed behind any Imam a prayer lighter and more perfect than that behind the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and he used to cut short the prayer whenever he heard the cries of a child lest he should put the child’s mother to trial.

আনাস ইবনু মালিক (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। আমি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর চেয়ে সংক্ষিপ্ত এবং পূর্ণাঙ্গ সালাত আর কোন ইমামের পিছনে আদায় করিনি। আর তা এজন্য যে, তিনি শিশুর কান্না শুনতে পেতেন এবং তার মায়ের ফিতনায় পড়ার আশংকায় সংক্ষেপ করতেন। (মুসলিম ৪/৩৭, হাঃ ৪৭ আহমাদ ১২০৬৭)

ہم سے خالد بن مخلد نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم سے سلیمان بن بلال نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم سے شریک بن عبداللہ بن ابی نمر قریشی نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ میں نے انس بن مالک رضی اللہ عنہ سے سنا، انہوں نے بتلایا کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے زیادہ ہلکی لیکن کامل نماز میں نے کسی امام کے پیچھے کبھی نہیں پڑھی۔

آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کا یہ حال تھا کہ اگر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم بچے کے رونے کی آواز سن لیتے تو اس خیال سے کہ اس کی ماں کہیں پریشانی میں نہ مبتلا ہو جائے نماز مختصر کر دیتے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Khalid bin Makhlad] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sulaiman bin Bilal] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syarik bin 'Abdullah] berkata, "Aku mendengar [Anas bin Malik] berkata, "Belum pernah aku shalat di belakang seorang Imam pun yang lebih ringan dan lebih sempurna shalatnya daripada Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. Jika mendengar tangisan bayi, maka beliau ringankan shalatnya karena khawatir ibunya akan terkena fitnah

Enes İbn Malik (r.a.) şöyle demiştir: "(Resûluüah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in kıldırdığı namazlar kısa ve öz ama her yönüyle tam olurdu.) Ben şu an'a kadar hiçbir imamın arkasında Resûlullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in namazından daha kısa ve öz ama her yönüyle tam bir namaz kılmadım. O Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem bir çocuğun ağlamasını duyacak olsa namazı kısaltırdı. Çünkü annenin çocuğu düşünerek namazdan geri kalacağından endişe ederdi

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to command people to adopt facilitation, and he used to invite them to that by words and actions. An aspect of facilitation is shortening the prayer while, at the same time, giving the act of worship its due right of completion and perfection. Anas ibn Mālik stated that he never prayed behind an Imām whose prayer was shorter than that of the great Imām, Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) due to his making things easier for those praying behind him so that they would not leave the prayer while wishing to complete it.

At the same time, no prayer was more perfect than that of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) who used to perform it in the most perfect and complete manner, without neglecting any part; rather, he would perfect it by performing what is obligatory and what is recommended, and this was from the effects of his blessing.
