أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ،
قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ مَعَ حُذَيْفَةَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَرَأَى رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي لَا يُتِمُّ رُكُوعَهُ وَلَا سُجُودَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ: " مُنْذُ كَمْ صَلَّيْتَ؟ " قَالَ: مُنْذُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، فَقَالَ لَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ: " مَا صَلَّيْتَ وَلَوْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَى غَيْرِ الْفِطْرَةِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ اللهُ عَلَيْهَا مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ قَدْ يُخَفِّفُ صَلَاتَهُ، وَيُتِمُّ رُكُوعَهَا وسُجُودَهَا "

He said: I entered the mosque with Ḥudhayfah, and he saw a man praying who was not completing his bowing or his prostration. Ḥudhayfah said to him: "Since when have you been praying?" He said: "For forty years." Ḥudhayfah said to him: "You have not prayed, and if you had died, you would have died upon other than the natural disposition (fiṭrah) upon which God created Muḥammad ﷺ. A man may make his prayer light, yet complete its bowing and its prostration."
