قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) لَا تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى طُولِ رُكُوعِ الرَّجُلِ وَ سُجُودِهِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ اعْتَادَهُ فَلَوْ تَرَكَهُ اسْتَوْحَشَ لِذَلِكَ وَ لَكِنِ انْظُرُوا إِلَى صِدْقِ حَدِيثِهِ وَ أَدَاءِ أَمَانَتِهِ .


Translation

From him, from Abu Talib, raising it, said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Do not be looking at the prolonged Bowing and Prostration of the man, for in that is something of his habit, were he to leave it, he would be petrified due to that. But look at the truthfulness of his narration and the repayment of his entrustment’.
