Narated By Jabir bin Samura RA: Sa'd RA said, "I used to pray with them a prayer similar to that of Allah's Apostle PBUH (the prayer of Zuhr and 'Asr) reducing nothing from them. I used to prolong the first two Rakat and shorten the last two Rak'at." 'Umar RA said to Sa'd RA "This was what we thought about you."
