CARELESSNESS in RUKOO & SUJOOD or EXAGGERATION therein.

CARELESSNESS in RUKOO & SUJOOD or EXAGGERATION therein.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded us to do RUKOO’ and SUJOOD perfectly and completely.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The worst thief is the one who steals from his own prayer. People asked, 'Messenger of Allah! How could one steal from his own prayer?' He said: By not completing its rukoo' and sujood.
(At-Tabarani & al-Hakim)

It was reported from Anas ibn Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said : “Do your rukoo’ and sujood perfectly and completely, for by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I can see you behind me when you do rukoo’ and sujood.”
(Bukhaari; 6268, Muslim; 425)

• Part of doing rukoo’ and sujood properly and correctly is to 
BE AT EASE in both.

It was reported from Abu Hurairah that a man entered the mosque and prayed. 
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was sitting in a corner of the mosque, and the man came and greeted him with salaam. 
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) answered “ Wa ‘alayk (and also upon you). 
GO BACK AND PRAY, for you have not prayed.”
So he went back and prayed, then he came and greeted the 
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with salaam, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) answered, “Wa ‘alayk (and also upon you). Go back and pray, for you have not prayed yet.” 
The third time this happened, the man said, “Teach me, O Messenger of Allah.” 
He said: “When you stand up to pray, do wudoo’ properly, then face the Qiblah and say ‘Allaahu Akbar.’ Then recite whatever you can of Qur’aan. Then do rukoo’ until you are at ease in rukoo’. Then stand up until you are at ease in standing, then do sujood until you are at ease in sujood. Then sit up until you are sitting up straight. Do that throughout your prayer.” 
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 724; Muslim, 397)

• Not doing rukoo’ and sujood properly and completely is something which INVALIDATES ONE'S PRAYER.

It was reported that Abu Mas’ood al-Ansaari al-Badri said :
“The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
‘A prayer in which a person does not straighten his spine in his rukoo’ and sujood does not count.”
(Tirmidhi; 265, al-Nasaa’i; 1027, Abu Dawood; 855, Ibn Maajah; 870]

To complete rukoo' is to stay in that posture long enough to recite 'subhana rabbiyal Adtheem' three times, slowly, and 'subhana rabbiyal-a'ala' three times, slowly, in sujood.
(Abu Dawood)

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw a man who did not complete his rukoo' [bowing], and made a very short sujood [prostration]; he said: If this man dies while praying in this manner, he would die upholding a religion other than the religion of Muhammad. Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), said: My beloved friend, Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade me to perform postures of prayer copying the picking of a rooster; (signifying fast performance of prayer), moving eyes around like a fox and the sitting like monkeys (i.e. to sit on thighs). 
(Ahmad & at-Tayalisi)

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever directs someone to a good, then he will have the reward equal to the doer of the action.” [Muslim 1893]
