English Translation
Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us... from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'The worst of people in theft is the one who steals from his prayer.' They said: O Messenger of Allah, how does one steal from his prayer? He said: 'He does not complete its bowing and prostration.' This was also narrated in the hadith of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri from the Prophet (peace be upon him).
