Chapter on the Invalidity of the Prayer of One Who Does Not Complete Bowing and Prostration
Hadith 1688
عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ هَانِئِ بْنِ مَعَاوِيَةَ الصَّدَفِيِّ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ: حَجَجْتُ زَمَانَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ فَجَلَسْتُ فِي مَسْجِدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ، قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا فَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ فَصَلَّى فِي هَٰذَا الْعَمُودِ فَعَجَّلَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُتِمَّ صَلَاتَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَوْ مَاتَ لَمَاتَ وَلَيْسَ مِنَ الدِّينِ عَلَى شَيْءٍ، إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُخَفِّفُ صَلَاتَهُ وَيُتِمُّهَا، قَالَ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ مَنْ هُوَ؟ فَقِيلَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَنِيفٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ
Hani bin Muawiyah Sadafi says: I performed Hajj during the time of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him). I was sitting in the Prophet’s Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him), and there was a man narrating hadiths to the people. He said: One day we were present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man came and prayed near this pillar, and he hastened in completing his prayer and then left. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If this person were to die, he would die in a state that he would not be characterized by anything of the religion. A man can lighten his prayer while still completing it. I asked about this (hadith-narrating) man, who he was. I was told that he is Sayyiduna Uthman bin Hunaif Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him).
Hadith 1689
عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: دَخَلَ حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يُصَلِّي مِمَّا يَلِي أَبْوَابَ كِنْدَةَ فَجَعَلَ لَا يُتِمُّ الرُّكُوعَ وَلَا السُّجُودَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ لَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ: مُنْذُ كَمْ هَٰذِهِ صَلَاتُكَ؟ قَالَ: مُنْذُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ: مَا صَلَّيْتَ مُنْذُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، وَلَوْ مُتَّ وَهَٰذِهِ صَلَاتُكَ لَمُتَّ عَلَى غَيْرِ الْفِطْرَةِ الَّتِي فُطِرَ عَلَيْهَا مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ يُعَلِّمُهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُخَفِّفُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ وَإِنَّهُ لَيُتِمُّ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ
Zaid bin Wahb narrates: Sayyiduna Hudhaifah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) entered the mosque and saw a man from a nearby area of Kindah performing prayer. He was neither completing the bowing (ruku') nor the prostration (sujud). When he finished, Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Since when have you been praying like this?" He replied: "For forty years." Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "(The reality is that) you have not prayed for forty years, and if you were to die in this state, with your prayer being like this, you would not die upon the religion that was given to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)." Then he turned to him and, teaching him the prayer, said: "A man can lighten the prayer even while completing the bowing and prostration (it is not necessary to hasten)."
