The reason for the shift of the prohibition from invalidating the prayer to being disliked

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, you mentioned in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) the prohibition against praying in a hurried manner. You stated that the hadith indicates that the prohibition is for the sake of dislike (kراهة). The question is: what shifted it from being forbidden to being disliked? The default ruling for a prohibition is that it is forbidden, except in the case of dislike (kراهة)?

Answer:
The factor that shifted it is that the one who prays in a hurried manner is not ordered to repeat the prayer. Since he is not ordered to repeat it, this is evidence that the prohibition is for the sake of dislike (kراهة), because if it were for the sake of being forbidden, he would have been ordered to repeat it.
