Chapter on What is Required of the Imam

Zujajat al-Masabih 1504Volume 1

English

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I have never prayed behind an imam whose prayer was lighter and more perfect than that of the Prophet (peace be upon him). If he heard the crying of a child, he would shorten the prayer out of concern that the child's mother might be distressed."
