Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنِّي لَأَدْخُلُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ إِطَالَتَهَا فَأَسْمَعُ بُكَاءَ الصَّبِيِّ فَأَتَجَوَّزُ فِي صَلَاتِي مِمَّا أَعْلَمُ مِنْ شِدَّةِ وجد أمه من بكائه» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ

Abu Qatadah reported that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When I begin the prayer, I intend to make it long, but then I hear a child crying and make my prayer brief, knowing how deeply his mother is distressed by his crying. Al-Bukhari transmitted it.
