حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ
دَخَلَ حُذَيْفَةُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يُصَلِّي مِمَّا يَلِي أَبْوَابَ كِنْدَةَ، فَجَعَلَ لَا يُتِمُّ الرُّكُوعَ وَلَا السُّجُودَ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ لَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ: مُنْذُ كَمْ هَذِهِ صَلَاتُكَ؟ قَالَ: مُنْذُ أَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً. قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ: مَا صَلَّيْتَ مُنْذُ أَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً، وَلَوْ مُتَّ وَهَذِهِ صَلَاتُكَ لَمُتَّ عَلَى غَيْرِ الْفِطْرَةِ الَّتِي فُطِرَ عَلَيْهَا مُحَمَّدٌ [عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ]. قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ يُعَلِّمُهُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُخِفُّ فِي صَلَاتِهِ، وَإِنَّهُ لَيُتِمُّ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ

✧ Hudhayfah entered the mosque, and there was a man praying near the gates of Kindah, and he was not completing the bowing or the prostration. When he finished, Hudhayfah said to him: "For how long have you been praying this prayer of yours?" He said: "For forty years." He said: Hudhayfah said to him: "You have not prayed for forty years. If you were to die while this is your prayer, you would die upon other than the natural disposition upon which Muhammad ﷺ was created." He said: Then he turned to him to teach him and said: "A man may make his prayer brief, yet he completes the bowing and the prostration."
