أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ
رَأَى حُذَيْفَةُ رَجُلًا عِنْدَ أَبْوَابِ كِنْدَةَ يَنْقُرُ فَقَالَ «مُذْ كَمْ صَلَّيْتَ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ؟ » قَالَ مُنْذُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً؟ قَالَ «لَوْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَى غَيْرِ الْفِطْرَةِ الَّتِي فُطِرَ عَلَيْهَا مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُخَفِّفُ وَيُتِمُّ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ»

✧ Hudhayfah saw a man at the gates of Kindah pecking [in prayer], so he said, “Since when have you been praying this prayer?” He said, “For forty years?” He said, “If you were to die, you would die upon other than the fiṭrah upon which Muhammad ﷺ was created. Indeed, a man may shorten [the prayer] and yet complete the bowing and prostration.”
