Chapter on the Merit of Prayer, and What is Obligatory and Recommended from It
عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ جَالِسٌ فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ إِذْ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى فَلَمْ يُتِمَّ رُكُوعَهُ وَ لاَ سُجُودَهُ فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ« نَقَرَ كَنَقْرِ اَلْغُرَابِ لَئِنْ مَاتَ هَذَا وَ هَكَذَا صَلاَتُهُ لَيَمُوتَنَّ عَلَى غَيْرِ دِينِي»»
Ali from his father from Ibn Abi Umayr from ‘Umar ibn Udhaynah from Zurarah:
Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, was sitting in the mosque when a man entered, stood, and prayed. He (the man) did not perfect his bowing (ruku‘) or his prostration (sujud). So the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, said: ‘He pecked like the pecking of a crow. If this man dies while continuing to pray like that, he will surely die upon a religion other than mine.’”
