Prophet said
1. “The best of affairs is in their moderation.”-- H: Baihaqi. N: Matref-b-Abdullah.
2. “When one of you leads the prayer, let him be short, because among those (who pray with him) there are the sick, the weak and the old.”-- H: Bukhari and Muslim. N: Abu Hurairah. And in a Hadith narrated by Osman-b-Abil`Aas also “among them there are those who have (to attend to) other needs”
3. “…observe fast and also break (in the evening), stand up (for prayer at night) and also sleep, because surely, there is duty on you to your body, duty to your eyes, duty towards your wife, and duty to your neighbour”-- H: Bukhari and Muslim. N: Abdullah-b-Amr-Aas.
