Arabic hadith text

عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: مَا صَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءَ إِمَامٍ قَطُّ أَخَفَّ صَلَاةً وَلَا أَتَمَّ صَلَاةً مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَيَسْمَعُ بُكَاءَ الصَّبِيِّ فَيُخَفِّفُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ تُفْتَنَ أمه

Anas said: I never prayed behind any imam whose prayer was briefer yet more complete than the prayer of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. When he heard a child crying, he would shorten the prayer, fearing that its mother might be distressed.
