Sunan an-Nasai 831 (Book 10, Hadith 55) #15439
Causing Hardship to People

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man who was late to the prayer and Muadh made it lengthy, so he left and prayed in a corner of the Masjid. When Muadh was told about this, he reported it to the Prophet (PBUH) who then asked him why he caused hardship to people.

It was narrated that Jabir said: "A man from the Ansar came when the Iqamah for prayer had been said. He entered the Masjid and prayed behind Muadh, and he(Muadh) made the prayer lengthy. The man went away and prayed in a comer of the Masjid, then he left. When Muadh finished praying, it was said to him that so-and-so had done such and such. Muadh said: 'Tomorrow I will mention that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ'. So Muadh came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him about that. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for him and asked him: 'What made you do what you did? He said: '0 Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I had been working with my camel to bring water all day, and when I came the Iqamah for prayer had already been said, so I entered the Masjid and joined him in the prayer, then he recited such and such a Surah and made it lengthy, so I went away and prayed in a comer of the Masjid'. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Do you want to cause hardship to the people, 0 Muadh do you want to cause hardship to the people, 0 Muadh do you want to cause hardship to the people, 0 Muadh?"'

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how we should be mindful of others when we are praying. It teaches us that even if someone is late for prayer, we should not make it too long or cause any hardship for them. We should be considerate of others and not make them feel uncomfortable or unwelcome in our places of worship. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us that making people feel uncomfortable or causing them difficulty is wrong and something that should be avoided at all costs. He also taught us that everyone has their own circumstances which may prevent them from attending prayers on time, so we must always show understanding towards those who are late or unable to attend prayers regularly.
