English Translation

It was narrated from Zayd ibn Wahb that Hudhayfa (may Allah be pleased with him) entered the mosque and saw a man praying near the doors of Kindah who was not completing his bowing or prostration. When he finished, Hudhayfa said to him: 'How long have you been praying like this?' He said: 'For forty years.' Hudhayfa said: 'You have not prayed for forty years, and if you die with this prayer, you will die contrary to the natural disposition upon which Muhammad ﷺ was created.'
