تَخْفِيفِ الإِمَامِ فِي الْقِيَامِ وَإِتْمَامِ الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ

The imam keeping the standing short while completing the bowing and prostration

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ لِلنَّاسِ فَلْيُخَفِّفْ، فَإِنَّ مِنْهُمُ الضَّعِيفَ وَالسَّقِيمَ وَالْكَبِيرَ، وَإِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ لِنَفْسِهِ فَلْيُطَوِّلْ مَا شَاءَ ".

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،

Translation

Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “When one of you leads the people in prayer, let him keep it light, for among them are the weak, the sick and the old. And when one of you prays by himself, let him make it as long as he wishes.”

Abu Huraira berichtete, dass der Gesandte Allahs ﷺ sagte: „Wenn einer von euch für die Leute (vor)betet, soll er es leicht halten; denn unter ihnen sind der Schwache, der Kranke und der Alte. Und wenn einer von euch für sich allein betet, soll er es so lang machen, wie er will.“

Türkçe

Ebû Hüreyre (r.a.), Resûlullah'ın ﷺ şöyle buyurduğunu rivayet etti: “Biriniz insanlara namaz kıldırdığında hafif tutsun; çünkü aralarında zayıf, hasta ve yaşlı vardır. Biriniz kendi başına namaz kıldığında ise dilediği kadar uzatsın.”
