Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّجُودِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَسْ
جِدَ لِصَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ فَإِذَا هُمْ عِزُونَ مُتَفَرِّقُونَ فَغَضِبَ غَضَبًا مَا رَأَيْتُهُ غَضِبَ غَضَبًا قَطُّ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا نَادَى النَّاسَ إِلَى عَرْقٍ أَوْ مِرْمَاتَيْنِ لَأَتَوْهُ لِذَلِكَ وَهُمْ يَتَخَلَّفُونَ عَنْ الصَّلَاةِ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ رَجُلًا فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَ أَهْلَ هَذِهِ الدُّورِ الَّتِي يَتَخَلَّفُ أَهْلُهَا عَنْ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ فَأُضْرِمَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ بِالنِّيرَانِ

English Translation
Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) narrated: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the mosque and a man entered and prayed, then came and greeted the Prophet ﷺ. the Prophet ﷺ returned the greeting and said: 'Go back and pray, for you have not prayed.' The man went back and prayed as he had prayed, then came and greeted the Prophet ﷺ. He said: 'Go back and pray, for you have not prayed' — three times. The man said: 'By the One who sent you with the truth, I cannot do better than this. Teach me.' He said: 'When you stand for prayer, say the takbir, then recite what is easy for you from the Quran. Then bow until you are at ease in bowing. Then rise until you stand straight. Then prostrate until you are at ease in prostration. Then sit until you are at ease in sitting. Then do that throughout your entire prayer.'
