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

Narrator: Abu Huraira

English translation
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If anyone of you leads the people in the prayer, he should shorten it for amongst them are the weak, the sick and the old; and if anyone among you prays alone then he may prolong (the prayer) as much as he wishes
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ তোমাদের কেউ যখন লোকদের নিয়ে সালাত আদায় করে, তখন যেন সে সংক্ষেপ করে। কেননা, তাদের মাঝে দুর্বল, অসুস্থ ও বৃদ্ধ রয়েছে। আর যদি কেউ একাকী সালাত আদায় করে, তখন ইচ্ছামত দীর্ঘ করতে পারে। (মুসলিম ৪/৩৭, হাঃ ৪৬৭, আহমাদ ৭৪৭৯) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৬৬১, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
