Arabic (Original)
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»
English Translation
Umar ibn Muhammad al-Hamdani informed us, saying: Amr ibn Ali narrated to us, saying: Ibn Mahdi narrated to us, saying: Sufyan narrated to us from al-A'mash from Zayd ibn Wahb, who said: Hudhayfah saw a man at the gates of Kindah pecking (in prayer), so he said: 'How long have you been praying this prayer?' He said: 'For forty years.' He said: 'If you die, you will die upon other than the natural disposition upon which Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was created. Indeed, a man may pray quickly yet complete the bowing and prostration properly.'
