حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ:
أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يُصَلِّي [١]نَاحِيَةً مِنْ أَبْوَابِ كِنْدَةَ، فَجَعَلَ لَا يُتِمُّ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ، قَالَ لَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ: مُذْ كَمْ هَذِهِ صَلَاتُكَ ؟ قَالَ: مُذْ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً ! فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: مَا صَلَّيْتَ مُذْ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً ! وَلَوْ مُتَّ وَهَذِهِ صَلَاتُكَ مُتَّ عَلَى غَيْرِ الْفِطْرَةِ الَّتِي فُطِرَ عَلَيْهَا مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ [٢]ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ يُعَلِّمُهُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُخَفِّفُ الصَّلَاةَ، وَيُتِمُّ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ

He entered the mosque and found a man praying at one side of the doors of Kindah, and he did not complete the bowing and prostration. When he finished, Hudhayfah said to him: "Since when has this been your prayer?" He said: "For forty years!" Hudhayfah said: "You have not prayed for forty years! If you died while this was your prayer, you would have died upon other than the fitrah upon which Muhammad ﷺ was created." Then he turned to him, teaching him, and said: "Indeed a man lightens the prayer, and completes the bowing and prostration."
