Prolonging Prayers and Caring for Mothers

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) shortened his prayer when he heard a baby crying, so as not to make it difficult for the mother.

Abu Qatadah Al-Harith bin Rib'i (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah said, "I stand up to lead Salat with the intention of prolonging it. Then I hear the crying of an infant and I shorten the Salat lest I should make it burdensome for his mother". Al-Bukhari.
وعن أبي قتادة الحارث بن ربعي رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏إني لأقوم إلى الصلاة، وأريد أن أطول فيها ، فأسمع بكاء الصبي، فأتجوز في صلاتي كراهية أن أشق على أمه‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of caring for mothers and how it should be prioritized over other activities. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was leading a prayer when he heard an infant crying. He immediately shortened his prayer so that he would not make it too difficult or burdensome on the mother of the child. This hadith teaches us that we should prioritize caring for our mothers over other activities, even if they are religious in nature such as praying. We should also be mindful of how our actions can affect others, especially those who are vulnerable like infants and their mothers.
