The hadith "It is recorded for him from his prayer one-tenth, nine-tenths..." Does this hadith imply that less than one-tenth is not recorded for some people?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : "It is recorded for him from his prayer one-tenth, nine-tenth" means that what is ... of the tenth is not included, meaning is there no one for whom nothing is recorded from his prayer?

The Shaykh : It would be, he (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger speaking in this hadith in a general manner, but this hadith does not negate that it may be recorded for someone like Abu Bakr and others more than half, nor does it negate that it may be recorded for him nothing at all, like the hadith of the one who prays poorly
go back and pray for indeed you have not prayed. ارجع فصلّ فإنك لم تصلّ
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2692Sahih (Darussalam)
Then you have the explicit, authentic hadith, which is his saying
How many are there who stand in prayer but have from their standing nothing but fatigue, exhaustion, or sleeplessness, and how many are there who fast but have from their fasting nothing but hunger and thirst. كم من قائم ليس له من قيامه إلا التعب أو النصب أو السهر وكم من صائم ليس له من صيامه إلا الجوع والعطش
So all of this is possible to exist, but as a general rule among the Muslims, the complete prayer, no, barely ... the half, but the rare case has no ruling, likewise the majority is what? The tenth, it is possible also by twenty percent, thirty percent, etc., meaning the less it is, according to ... and according to the rarity, so negatively or positively, Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You, I bear witness that there is no god but You.

The questioner : Peace be upon you.
