أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُکَیْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَهَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع یَقُولُ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ مَسْجِداً فِیهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَخَفَّفَ سُجُودَهُ دُونَ مَا یَنْبَغِی وَ دُونَ مَا یَکُونُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص نَقَرَ کَنَقْرِ الْغُرَابِ لَوْ مَاتَ مَاتَ عَلَی غَیْرِ دِینِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص.

1. It is narrated that Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) said, “A person went to a mosque where the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) was also present. He performed short prostrations without caring for what is obligatory in a prostration. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said that the person was pecking like a crow. If that person dies, “he will die following any other religion except the religion of Muhammad.”
