Abu Bakra wrote to his son who was in Sijistan: 'Do not judge between two persons when you are
angry, for I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "A judge should not judge between two persons while he is in
an angry mood."

with Abu Musa. Mu`adh asked, "What is wrong with this (man)?" Abu Musa replied, "He embraced

A man came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! By Allah, I fail to attend the morning
congregational prayer because so-and-so (i.e., Mu`adh bin Jabal) prolongs the prayer when he leads us
for it." I had never seen the Prophet (ﷺ) more furious in giving advice than he was on that day. He then
said, "O people! some of you make others dislike (good deeds, i.e. prayers etc). So whoever among
you leads the people in prayer, he should shorten it because among them there are the old, the weak
and the busy (needy having some jobs to do). (See Hadith No. 90, Vol. 1)
