سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ ثَلَاثَةٌ إِنْ يَعْلَمْهُنَّ الْمُؤْمِنُ كَانَتْ زِيَادَةً فِي عُمُرِهِ وَ بَقَاءَ النِّعْمَةِ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ وَ مَا هُنَّ قَالَ تَطْوِيلُهُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ وَ سُجُودِهِ فِي صَلَاتِهِ وَ تَطْوِيلُهُ لِجُلُوسِهِ عَلَى طَعَامِهِ إِذَا أَطْعَمَ عَلَى مَائِدَتِهِ وَ اصْطِنَاعُهُ الْمَعْرُوفَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Darraj, from Zurara who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘There are three things, if the Believer were to know these, it would result in an increase in his life span, and a lasting for the Bounties upon him’. So I said, ‘And what are these?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘His prolongation in his Bowings and his Prostrations in his Prayer, and his prolongation in his sitting upon his meal when he is feeding (others) upon his table spread, and his performing of the act of kindness upon his family’.
