The beloved Rasūl of Allāĥ صَلَّى اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم
said, "The Ṣalāĥ of the one not keeping his back straight in Rukū' and
Sujūd is insufficient (imperfect)."
(Sunan Abū Dāwūd, pp.
325, vol. 1, Ḥadīš 855)
The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم said, "Perform
your Rukū' and Sujūd completely as, by Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ,
