Muaz bin Jabal used to lead his people in prayer. Haram came intending to water his palm trees, but he entered the mosque to pray with the congregation. When he saw that Muaz was prolonging the prayer, he made his prayer brief and went off to water his palms.When Muaz finished the prayer, he was told, "Haram entered the mosque, but when he saw you prolonging the prayer, he shortened his own and left to water his palms."Muaz said, "He is a hypocrite. Does he rush through the prayer for the sake of watering his palms?"Haram then went to the Prophet ﷺ, with Muaz present, and said, "Prophet of Allah, I wanted to water some palm trees of mine, so I entered the mosque to pray with the congregation. When he prolonged the prayer, I shortened mine and went to water my palms, and now he claims I am a hypocrite."The Prophet ﷺ turned to Muaz and said, "Are you one who drives people away? Are you one who drives people away? Do not prolong the prayer for them. Recite Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High and By the sun and its brightness and the like."
حدثنا إسماعيل بن إبراهيم حدثنا عبد العزيز بن صهيب وقال مرة أخبرنا عبد العزيز بن صهيب
كان معاذ بن جبل يؤم قومه فدخل حرام وهو يريد أن يسقي نخله فدخل المسجد ليصلي مع القوم فلما رأى معاذا طول تجوز في صلاته ولحق بنخله يسقيه فلما قضى معاذ الصلاة قيل له إن حراما دخل المسجد فلما رآك طولت تجوز في صلاته ولحق بنخله يسقيه قال إنه لمنافق أيعجل عن الصلاة من أجل سقي نخله قال فجاء حرام إلى النبي ﷺ ومعاذ عنده فقال يا نبي الله إني أردت أن أسقي نخلا لي فدخلت المسجد لأصلي مع القوم فلما طول تجوزت في صلاتي ولحقت بنخلي أسقيه فزعم أني منافق فأقبل النبي ﷺ على معاذ فقال أفتان أنت أفتان أنت لا تطول بهم اقرأ بسبح اسم ربك الأعلى والشمس وضحاها ونحوهما
