When he arrived, Hazrat Umar informed him of the people’s complaint and their objection to his way of praying. Hazrat Sa’d said,“I lead them in prayer as per the manner of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); I make the first two rak’ahs long and the last two rak’ahs short.”Upon hearing this, Hazrat Umar said,“O Abu Ishaq! This is exactly what I thought of you.”

Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri narrates that we used to estimate the duration of the standing (qiyam) of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the Zuhr and Asr prayers. In the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr, he would recite about thirty verses, and in the last two rak'ahs, he would stand for about half that duration. Similarly, in the first two rak'ahs of Asr, he would stand for the same duration as the last two rak'ahs of Zuhr, and in the last two rak'ahs of Asr, he would stand for about half the duration of the first two rak'ahs.

Hazrat Abu Qatadah narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to lead us in the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr in such a way that he would recite more in the first rak'ah and less in the second. He would also lead the Fajr prayer in such a way that he would recite more in the first rak'ah and less in the second. And he used to lead the first two rak'ahs of Asr in the same manner.
