Ibrahim bin Musa narrated to us, he said: Walid (bin Muslim) told us. He said that Auza'i told us. He narrated from Yahya bin Abi Kathir, Yahya from Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah, Abdullah from his father Abu Qatadah, he from the Prophet (saw). He said: “I stand in prayer intending to make it long. Then I hear a child crying, and I shorten my Prayer. I dislike putting his mother to distress.” Like (Walid bin Muslim), Bishr bin Bakr, Ibn Mubarak and Baqiyyah also narrated this from Auza'i.

Khalid bin Makhlad narrated to us, he said: Sulaiman bin Bilal told us. He said: Sharik bin Abdullah narrated to us. He said: I heard Hazrat Anas (ra) bin Malik saying that I never prayed behind any Imam a prayer lighter and better than that of the Prophet (saw). If he heard a child crying, he would at once lighten the Prayer, for fear that its mother would be troubled.
