The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed out that the worst thief among people is the one who steals from his prayer. This is because when a person takes the money of others, he may utilize it in worldly life, unlike this thief, who steals his share of the reward. They said: O Messenger of Allah, how does he steal from his prayer? He said: He does not perform its Rukū 'or prostration perfectly; he bows and prostrates himself in haste, so he does not perform them correctly.

• The Hadīth points out the significance of prayer and the performance of its pillars with tranquility and Khushū‘ (humility and focus).
• It describes the one who does not perform Rukū‘ and prostration perfectly as a thief to make us averse to this behavior and aware of its prohibition.
• It is obligatory to perform the Rukū‘ and prostration during prayer and the rise from them in a perfect manner.
