Hadith of Khalid bin al-Walid
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7184 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a man praying
حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ شَيْبَةَ بْنِ الْأَحْنَفِ ، سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَّامٍ الْأَسْوَدَ ، يَقُولُ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو صَالِحٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَشْعَرِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بَصُرَ بِرَجُلٍ يُصَلِّي لَا يُتِمُّ رُكُوعَهُ وَلَا سُجُودَهُ ، فَقَالَ : لَوْ مَاتَ هَذَا عَلَى مَا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ ، لَمَاتَ عَلَى غَيْرِ مِلَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأَتِمُّوا الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ ، فَإِنَّ مَثَلَ الَّذِي لَا يُتِمُّ رُكُوعَهُ وَلَا سُجُودَهُ مَثَلُ الْجَائِعِ لَا يَأْكُلُ إِلَّا التَّمْرَةَ وَالتَّمْرَتَيْنِ ، لَا تُغْنِيَانِ عَنْهُ شَيْئًا قَالَ أَبُو صَالِحٍ : فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ ، فَقُلْتُ : مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أُمَرَاءُ الْأَجْنَادِ : خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، وَشُرَحْبِيلُ بْنُ حَسَنَةَ ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ أَنَّهُمْ سَمِعُوهُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Abdullah al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man praying who was completing neither his bowing (ruku') nor his prostration. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If this man dies in this state, he will certainly die upon a way other than the religion of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). So complete the bowing and the prostrations, for the likeness of one who does not complete his bowing and prostration is that of a hungry man who eats only one or two dates, which do not suffice him in the least to satisfy his hunger." Abu Salih (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I met Sayyiduna Abu Abdullah al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked: Who narrated this hadith to you, that he heard it directly from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: The commanders of the armies, Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid, Sayyiduna Shurahbil bin Hasanah and Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them), told me that all of them heard it from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) themselves.
