It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The worst person in terms of theft is the one who steals from his prayer. The people asked: O Messenger of Allah! How does he steal from his prayer? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He does not complete the bowing and prostration, or he said: He does not straighten his back in bowing and prostration.
