وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، ثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَّامٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو صَالِحٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ: أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَشْعَرِيَّ ؓ حَدَّثَهُ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِرَجُلٍ لَا يُتِمُّ رُكُوعَهُ وَلَا سُجُودَهُ. قَالَ: لَوْ مَاتَ هَذَا عَلَى مَا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ لَمَاتَ عَلَى غَيْرِ مِلَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ ; فَأَمَّا الرُّكُوعُ مَعَ السُّجُودِ، فَإِنَّ مَثَلَ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي وَلَا يُتِمُّ رُكُوعَهُ وَلَا سُجُودَهُ كَمَثَلِ الْجَائِعِ الَّذِي لَا يَأْكُلُ إِلَّا التَّمْرَةَ أَوِ التَّمْرَتَيْنِ لَا يُغْنِيَانِ عَنْهُ شَيْئًا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a man who did not complete his bowing or his prostration. He said: "If this man were to die in the state he is in, he would die upon other than the religion of Muhammad ﷺ." As for bowing along with prostration, the likeness of one who prays but does not complete his bowing or prostration is that of a hungry man who eats only one or two dates, which do not satisfy him at all.
