Translation: 434. Narrated Rifa'a ibn Rafi: ' While the Messenger of Allah was sitting in the mosque and we were sitting with him, a man who looked like as a nomad came in and performed Al-salah (the prayer) extremely briefly. He went to the Prophet and greeted him. The Prophet returned his greeting and said to him: " Go back and offer Al-salat (the prayer), for you have not performed the prayer. " The man went back, offered Al-salat (the prayer), returned, and greeted the Prophet who returned his greeting and said to him: " Go back and offer Al-salat (the prayer), for you have not performed the prayer. " The man did so twice or thrice, and each time the Prophet said to him: “ Go back and offer Al-salat (the prayer), for you have not performed the prayer. " The people feared lest each one who performed the prayer so briefly would have no prayer (no reward for his prayer). At last, the man said: " Show me and teach me, for I am but a human who is liable both to err and to behave well. " He said: " Well. If you stood for Al-salat (the prayer) perform Alwodoo ' as Allah has ordered you, then recite Al-shahada (testimony of faith) and after that recite Al-iqama. If you have (memorized) any portion of the Koran read it, otherwise praise, glorify, and exalt Allah. Then bow until you feel at ease. Then stand erect. Then prostrate until you feel at ease. Then sit until you feel at ease. Then stand. And if you so did, your prayer is complete. And if you missed anything from it, it will be reduced from your prayer but it will not be wholly useless. " The narrator said: " This was less hard for them than their primary thought, i.e. that the prayer performed extremely briefly has no reward. '
