Chapter 2 · Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat)تَخْفِيفِ الأُخْرَيَيْنِ
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ أَبِي عَوْنٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ لِسَعْدٍ: قَدْ شَكَاكَ النَّاسُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى فِي الصَّلَاةِ، قَالَ: أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَمُدُّ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ، وَأَحْذِفُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ، وَلَا آلُو مَا اقْتَدَيْتُ بِهِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: ذَاكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ .

Shorting The Last Two Rak'ah
Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said to Saad رضی اللہ عنہ : people complain against you for everything, even for prayer. He replied: I prolong the first two rak’ahs of prayer and make the last two rak’ahs brief; I do not fall short of following the prayer offered by the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: I think so about you.
