وَعَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنِّي لَأَدْخُلُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ إِطَالَتَهَا فَأَسْمَعُ بُكَاءَ الصَّبِيِّ فَأَتَجَوَّزُ فِي صَلَاتِي مِمَّا أَعْلَمُ مِنْ شِدَّةِ وجد أمه من بكائه» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
Abu Qatada reported God’s Messenger as saying, “When I begin the prayer. I intend to make it long, but I hear a boy crying and shorten my prayer, being aware of his mother’s emotion because of his crying.”
Bukhari transmitted it.

Chain Data Audit In Progress
Narrator-chain data on this hadith is being actively audited against canonical sources (sunnah.com, dorar.net). Some chains in our database may differ from the canonical isnad pending review. Treat the family tree below as a working analysis, not a definitive scholarly source.
About these grades Grades shown above reflect specific scholars' assessments of the chain of transmission (isnad). They do not judge the Prophet's words. In Sunni tradition, all Companions of the Prophet are held to be upright (al-Sahaba kulluhum 'udul); any weakness in a chain originates with a later transmitter or a break in the chain, not with the Companion.
