Hazrat Abu Majliz says that the predecessors used to perform the prayer completely, but kept it concise, and protected it from satanic whispers.

Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the prayer of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was the shortest and lightest among all people.

Hazrat Amr bin Maimoon says that I have never seen a prayer as brief as the one I saw between these two walls, that is, in the Grand Mosque of Kufa.

Hazrat Nu’man bin Qais says that when women would pass by Hazrat ‘Ubaidah and he would be praying, they would say to each other,“Lead a short prayer, for look how brief Hazrat ‘Ubaidah’s prayer is.”
