´It was narrated that ‘Ali bin Shaiban who was part of a delegation (to the Prophet (ﷺ)) said:` “We set out until we came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and we gave him our oath of allegiance and performed prayer behind him. He glanced out of the corner of his eye at a man who was not settling his spine when he bowed and prostrated. When the Prophet (ﷺ) finished the prayer, he said: ‘O Muslims, there is no prayer for the one who does not settle his spine when bowing and prostrating.’”

Turning the neck to look is prohibited.
➌
If one person makes a mistake in the congregation, the issue should be explained to everyone,
so that others may also avoid this mistake,
and the one who made the mistake is not exposed.
