[Machine] "I sat with a group of Quraysh and a man approached, and he began praying, bowing, prostrating, then standing, then bowing, and prostrating again without sitting. So, I said, "By Allah, I don't see him responding to Shaf' or Witr prayers." They said, "Why don't you approach him and ask him?" So, I stood up and said, "O Abdullah, I don't see you responding to Shaf' or Witr prayers." He said, "Certainly, Allah knows. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever prostrates to Allah in a single prostration, Allah writes for him a good deed, erases a sin for him, and raises him in rank.' So, I said, "Who are you?" He replied, "Abu Dharr." So, I returned to my companions and said, "May Allah reward you for the worst company. You ordered me to teach a man from the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."
قَعَدْتُ إِلَى نَفَرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَجَعَلَ يُصَلِّي يَرْكَعُ وَيَسْجُدُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ وَيَسْجُدُ لَا يَقْعُدُ فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ مَا أَرَى هَذَا يَدْرِي يَنْصَرِفُ عَلَى شَفْعٍ أَوْ وِتْرٍ فَقَالُوا أَلَا تَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ فَتَقُولَ لَهُ؟ قَالَ فَقُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ مَا أَرَاكَ تَدْرِي تَنْصَرِفُ عَلَى شَفْعٍ أَوْ عَلَى وَتْرٍ؟ قَالَ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ يَدْرِي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ سَجَدَ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِهَا حَسَنَةً وَحَطَّ بِهَا عَنْهُ خَطِيئَةً وَرَفَعَ لَهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً فَقُلْتُ مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِي فَقُلْتُ جَزَاكُمُ اللهُ مِنْ جُلَسَاءَ شَرًّا أَمَرْتُمُونِي أَنْ أُعَلِّمَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ
