Question:
Are these hadiths authentic? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Before the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) were established, whatقبل أن تنزل الحدود، ما
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 15:1492
They said: "By Allah and His Messenger, you know best." He said: "It is a grave sin, and the worst of theft is the one who steals from his prayer, not completing its bowing or prostration."

Answer:
What I know is that this is an athar (a report from a Companion or successor). It is said: "The worst of people in terms of theft is the one who steals from his prayer." I do not know if it is a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or the words of some of the scholars. The important thing is that its wording is: "The worst of people in terms of theft is the one who steals from his prayer," meaning he rattles through it without completing its bowing, prostration, or tranquility. Yes.
