Bayhaqi 4697 — One who held it recommended to bow and prostrate much

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ هُوَ الْأَصَمُّ، ثنا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، رَأَى فَتًى وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي وَقَدْ أَطَالَ صَلَاتَهُ وَأَطْنَبَ فِيهَا فَقَالَ: مَنْ يَعْرِفُ هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: أَنَا، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ: لَوْ كُنْتُ أَعْرِفُهُ لَأَمَرْتُهُ أَنْ يُطِيلَ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا قَامَ يُصَلِّي أُتِيَ بِذُنُوبِهِ فَجُعِلَتْ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَعَاتِقَيْهِ، فَكُلَّمَا رَكَعَ أَوْ سَجَدَ تَسَاقَطَتْ عَنْهُ ".
Jubayr bin Nufayr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) saw a young man praying; he had lengthened his prayer (that is, he lengthened the standing) and kept his bowing and prostration short. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) asked: Is there anyone who knows him? A man said: I know him. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: If I knew him, I would order him to lengthen the bowing and prostration, for I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When the servant stands to pray, his sins are brought and placed on his head and shoulders; when he bows and prostrates, those sins fall off him."
