Shortening the Prayer

Sahih (authentic)« Maqtu Sahih » by Salim al-Hilali

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، كَانَ يَقُولُ مَنْ غَدَا أَوْ رَاحَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ لاَ يُرِيدُ غَيْرَهُ لِيَتَعَلَّمَ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيُعَلِّمَهُ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ كَانَ كَالْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ رَجَعَ غَانِمًا ‏.‏

Yahya related to me from Malik from Sumayy, the mawla of Abu Bakr, that Abu Bakr ibn Abd ar-Rahman used to say, "Someone who goes to the mosque in the morning or the afternoon with no intention of going anywhere else, either to learn good or teach it, is like someone who does jihad in the way of Allah and returns with booty
EN
Soumai, le domestique de Abou Bakr a rapporté que Abou Bakr Ibn Abdel-Rahman disait: «Celui, qui, matin et soir, se rend à la mosquée, et n'a nulle autre place, pour apprendre du bien ou pour l'enseigner aux autres, puis revient chez lui, est comparable à celui qui combat dans la voie d'Allah, retournant avec ce qu'il a acquis comme butin»
