Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his companions, while I was present there, (the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:) "If this pillar belonged to one of you, he would dislike being cheated over it. Then why is it that a person does a deed and cheats in his prayer, which is exclusively for Allah Almighty? Perform your prayer completely, for Allah Almighty accepts only what is complete."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its chain is hasan (good).
