Jabir bin ahadeeth reported: Umar said to Sad: They complain against you in every matter, even in prayer. He (Sad) said: I prolong (standing) in the first two (rakahs) and shorten it in the last two, and I make no negligence in following the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He (Umar) remarked: This is what is expected of you, or, that is what I deemed of you.
