Question

Has there been any evidence in the Sunnah indicating how this shortening was done?

السؤال (بالعربية)

هل ورد في السُّنَّة ما يدلُّ على كيفيَّة هذا التَّخفيف؟

Official Transcript (English)

Yes, what has been narrated indicates that he would recite a light or short surah. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to hear the crying of a child [who was] with his mother while he was in prayer, so he would recite a light surah or a short surah.' (Agreed upon).

الجواب الكامل (باللغة العربية)

نعم، ورد ما يدلُّ على أنَّه يقرأ السُّورة الخفيفة أو القصيرة، قال أنس -رضي الله عنه-: كان رسول الله ﷺ يسمع بكاء الصَّبي مع أمِّه وهو في الصَّلاة، فيقرأ بالسُّورة الخفيفة، أو بالسُّورة القصيرة. (متفق عليه).
