Jabir bin ahadeeth reported: The people of Kufa complained to Umar bin Khattab about Sa'id and they made a mention of his prayer. 'Umar sent for him. He came to him. He ('Umar) told him that the people had found fault with his prayer. He said: I lead them in prayer in accordance with the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . I make no decrease in it. I make them stand for a longer time in the first two (rak'ahs) and shorten it in the last two. Upon this 'Umar remarked: This is what I deemed of thee, O Abu Ishaq.

This hadith his been narrated by 'Abu al-Malik with the same chain of transmitters.

Jabir bin ahadeeth reported: 'Umar said to Sa'd: They complain against you in every matter, even in prayer. He (Sa'd) said: I prolong (standing) in the first two (rak'ahs) and shorten it in the last two, and I make no negligence in following the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . He ('Umar) remarked: This is what is expected of you, or, that is what I deemed of you.

This hadith is narrated by Jabir bin ahadeeth but with the addition of these words:" (Sa'd said): These bedouins presume to teach me prayer."
