Chain of Narration (Isnad)

al-Salt bin Muhammad bin 'Abdur Rahman Atbāʿ Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn d. > 210 AH Mahdi bin Maymun al-Azdi Tābiʿī d. 172 AH Wasl bin Hyan al-Ahdb Tābiʿī d. 120 AH Shaqayq bin Salmah al-Asadi Tābiʿī ~1AH – ~ 100 AH

Narrated Abu Wail:Hudhaifa said, "I saw a person not performing his bowing and prostrations perfectly. When he completed the prayer, I told him that he had not prayed." I think that Hudhaifa added (i.e. said to the man), "Had you died, you would have died on a tradition other than that of the Prophet (ﷺ) Muhammad."

حَدَّثَنَا الصَّلْتُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيٌّ، عَنْ وَاصِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، رَأَى رَجُلاً لاَ يُتِمُّ رُكُوعَهُ وَلاَ سُجُودَهُ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلاَتَهُ قَالَ لَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ مَا صَلَّيْتَ ـ قَالَ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ ـ وَلَوْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَى غَيْرِ سُنَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏.‏
