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

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ لِلنَّاسِ فَلْيُخَفِّفْ، فَإِنَّ مِنْهُمُ الضَّعِيفَ وَالسَّقِيمَ وَالْكَبِيرَ، وَإِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ لِنَفْسِهِ فَلْيُطَوِّلْ مَا شَاءَ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) 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.”

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)

ہم سے عبداللہ بن یوسف تنیسی نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہمیں امام مالک نے ابوالزناد سے خبر دی، انہوں نے اعرج سے، انہوں نے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا، جب کوئی تم میں سے لوگوں کو نماز پڑھائے تو تخفیف کرے کیونکہ جماعت میں ضعیف بیمار اور بوڑھے ( سب ہی ) ہوتے ہیں، لیکن اکیلا پڑھے تو جس قدر جی چاہے طول دے سکتا ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdullah bin Yusuf] berkata, telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Malik] dari [Abu Az Zinad] dari [Al A'raj] dari [Abu Hurairah] bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Jika seseorang dari kalian memimpin shalat orang banyak, hendaklah dia meringankannya. Karena di antara mereka ada orang yang lemah, orang yang sakit dan orang berusia lanjut. Namun bila dia shalat sendiri silahkan dia panjangkan sesukanya

Ebu Hureyre (r.a.) Resûlullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in şöyle buyurduğunu nakletmiştir: Sizden birisi insanlara namaz kıldırıyorsa namazı kısa ve hafif tutsun. Çünkü cemaat içinde zayıf, hasta ve yaşlı kimseler bulunabilir. Fakat tek başına kılıyorsa istediği kadar uzatsın

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the Muslims to shorten the prayer according to what is in the Sunnah. He justified that by saying that the weak people, as well as the sick and busy people, pray behind them. However, when they pray individually, they are free to either prolong or shorten the prayer as they wish.
