Narrated Sulaiman bin Yasar:

So-and-so used to prolong the first two Rak'a of the Zuhr prayer and shorten the 'Asr prayer, and recite the short Surah of Mufassal at Maghrib prayer, its medium Surah at the 'Isha' prayer, and its long ones at the Fajr prayer. Then Abu Hurairah (RA) said: "I never prayed behind anyone whose prayer more closely resembles that of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) than this person." [Reported by an-Nasa'i with a Sahih (authentic) Isnad].

Reported by An-Nasa’i (No. 982, 983) and Ahmad (No. 7650, 10462). Cited in Bulugh al-Maram (No. 288).
