Sahih Muslim 467c (Book 4, Hadith 210) #8215
Shortening Prayers When Leading Others

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised people to shorten their prayers when leading others in prayer, as there may be weak, infirm or busy people present.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah said: When any one of you leads people in prayer, he must shorten it for among them are the weak, the infirm and those who have business to attend.
وَحَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ لِلنَّاسِ فَلْيُخَفِّفْ فَإِنَّ فِي النَّاسِ الضَّعِيفَ وَالسَّقِيمَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Lead a group in prayer with respect and consideration for those who are not able to stand for long periods of time by shortening your prayers .

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that when leading a group of people in prayer, it is important to keep the prayer short. This is because some of the members of the congregation may be weak or infirm and unable to stand for long periods of time, or they may have other business to attend to. By shortening our prayers when leading others, we are showing respect and consideration for those who are not able to stand for long periods of time. We should also remember that Allah loves those who show kindness and mercy towards others.
