Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir — Hadith 649

"إذا صلى أحدكم فليتم ركوعه ولا ينقر في سجوده فإنما مثل ذلك كمثل الجائع يأكل التمرة والتمرتين فماذا يغنيان عنه".؟
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"When one of you prays, let him complete his bowing (ruku') (and do it calmly), and let him not peck (like a crow) in his prostration. For the likeness of this (one who pecks) is like a hungry person who eats one or two dates; what benefit can they give him (that is, how will they satisfy his hunger)?"
