كتاب الصلوٰةBook of Prayer
Prayer is invalidated by incomplete bowing and prostration
Hadith 174
وَبِهَذَا، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((إِنَّ شَرَّ النَّاسِ سَرِقَةً الَّذِي يَسْرِقُ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ)) قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَكَيْفَ يَسْرِقُ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ؟ قَالَ: ((لَا يُتِمُّ رُكُوعَهَا وَلَا سُجُودَهَا)) .
With this same chain, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The worst thief is the one who steals from his prayer." It was asked: O Messenger of Allah! How does he steal from his prayer? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He does not complete its bowing nor its prostration."
