Nu’man bin Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “What do you say about the drinker, the fornicator, and the thief? This was before the rulings regarding them were revealed. They said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said: ‘They are immoral acts, and they carry punishments, but the worst theft is that of the one who steals from his prayer.’” They asked: “How does one steal from his prayer, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “By not completing his bowing and prostration properly.”
