It is narrated from Qays ibn Abi Hazim that he said: Abu Masud informed us that a man said: "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I sometimes delay the Fajr prayer because of so-and-so, as he prolongs the prayer for us." I never saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) deliver a sermon with more anger than he did that day. He then said: "There are among you those who drive people away. Whoever among you leads people in prayer should make it light, for among them are the weak, the elderly, and those with needs."
