وَتَسْمِيَةِ الْمُنْتَقِصِ رُكُوعَهُ وَسُجُودَهُ سَارِقًا، أَوْ هُوَ سَارِقٌ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ‏.‏
Statement about calling the one who is deficient in his bowing and prostration a thief, or that he is a thief of his prayer
نا أَبُو يَحْيَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ الْبَزَّازُ ، نا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَبُو صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَسْوَأُ النَّاسِ سَرِقَةً الَّذِي يَسْرِقُ صَلاتَهُ " ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَيْفَ يَسْرِقُ صَلاتَهُ ؟ قَالَ : " لا يُتِمُّ رُكُوعَهَا وَلا سُجُودَهَا "
Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The worst thief among people is the one who steals from his prayer." The companions asked, "O Messenger of Allah, how does he steal from his prayer?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "He does not complete its bowing (ruku') and prostration (sujud)."
