The answer

The aforementioned saying was not found, but there is a from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, a man may pray for sixty years, and Allah does not accept any of his prayers. Perhaps he completes the bowing but not the prostration, or completes the prostration but not the bowing." This Hadith was mentioned by Al-Mundhiri and declared good by Al-Albani. We hope that Allah accepts the prayers and acts of worship of the righteous and rewards them for them. We should leave the matter of people's good deeds to Allah and focus on guiding them and encouraging them to repent and perform good deeds, for there is a great reward in that.
