Bulugh al-Maram #350

The Book of Prayer

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

وَعَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- 1‏ قَالَ : { كَانَ فُلَانٍ يُطِيلُ اَلْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنْ اَلظُّهْرِ, وَيُخَفِّفُ اَلْعَصْرَ, وَيَقْرَأُ فِي اَلْمَغْرِبِ بِقِصَارِ اَلْمُفَصَّلِ وَفِي اَلْعِشَاءِ بِوَسَطِهِ وَفِي اَلصُّبْحِ بِطُولِهِ .‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : "مَا صَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءِ أَحَدٍ أَشْبَهَ صَلَاةِ بِرَسُولِ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-مِنْ هَذَا } .‏ أَخْرَجَهُ النَّسَائِيُّ بِإِسْنَادٍ صَحِيحٍ 2‏‏1 ‏- كذا في "أ" ولا مانع من الترضي عن غير الصحابة، وإن كان بالصحابة أشهر وأعرف .‏‏2 ‏- صحيح رواه النسائي (2/167 و 167 ‏- 168)‏ ولكن تصرف الحافظ في بعض ألفاظه.‏
Narrated Sulaiman bin Yasar: So-and-so used to prolong the first two Rak'a of the Zuhr prayer and shorten the 'Asr prayer, and recite the short Surah of Mufassal at Maghrib prayer, its medium Surah at the 'Isha' prayer, and its long ones at the Fajr prayer. Then Abu Hurairah (RA) said: "I never prayed behind anyone whose prayer more closely resembles that of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) than this person." .
