“Muʿādh [ibn Jabal] used to pray with the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) and then return to lead us in prayer (on another occasion [Jābir said]: to pray with his people). One night, the Prophet (ﷺ) delayed the prayer, or as he said on another occasion, delayed the ʿIshāʾ. So Muʿādh prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ), then came to lead his people and recited Sūrat al-Baqara. A man from the congregation separated and prayed [a quicker prayer] on his own. He was told: ‘You have become a hypocrite, so-and-so!’ He replied: ‘I am no hypocrite.’ He then went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘Messenger of Allāh, Muʿādh prays with you and then comes back to lead us in prayer. We are people with water-hauling camels and we work with our hands, yet he came and led us in prayer reciting Sūrat al-Baqara.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘O Muʿādh, are you putting people to trial? Are you putting people to trial? Recite such-and-such [shorter chapters].’ Abū al-Zubayr added: ‘[He told him to recite] “Glorify the Name of your Lord Most High” (al-Aʿlā, 87) and “By the night when it covers” (al-Layl, 92).’ We mentioned this to ʿAmr [ibn Dīnār] and he said: ‘I believe Jābir did mention them [in his narration].’” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 33
