"You would think that he had died"

Abu Bakr bin Aiyash said:

رأيت حبيب بن أبي ثابت ساجداً، فلو رأيته قلت ميت

ENGLISH:

"If you saw Habib bin Abu Thabit while in Sujud, you would think that he had died because of his long prostration."

NEDERLANDS:

“Ik zag Habib bin Abu Thabit tijdens sujuud, en als je hem zou zien dan zou je denken dat hij is gestorven!”

["As Siyar”, 5/291].
