Shortening Prayers and Reciting As-Saffat

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) encouraged people to make their prayers short, but he himself would lead the prayer and recite As-Saffat.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allah used to enjoin upon us to make the prayer short, but he would lead us in prayer and recite As-Saffat".
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَأْمُرُ بِالتَّخْفِيفِ وَيَؤُمُّنَا بِالصَّافَّاتِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of prayer in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad PBUH encouraged his followers to shorten their prayers, but he himself would lead them in prayer and recite Surah Al Saffat. This shows that although we should try to shorten our prayers, we should still take our time to properly recite the Quran during our prayers. It also teaches us that even though we may be busy with other things, it is important for us to take time out of our day for prayer as it is a way of connecting with Allah SWT.
