871. It was narrated that 'Ali bin Shaibân, who was part of a delegation (to the Prophet ﷺ) said: "We set out until we came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and we gave him our oath of allegiance and performed prayer behind him. He glanced out of the corner of his eye at a man who was not settling his spine when he bowed and prostrated. When the Prophet ﷺ finished the prayer, he said: 'O Muslims, there is no prayer for the one who does not settle his spine when bowing and prostrating.'" (Sahih)
prostration) is tranquility." (Awnul-Ma'bud) Regarding Hadith: 822 with Al-Bukhârî, in which the Prophet ﷺ said: "Be balanced in the prostrations, and none of you should put his forearms on the ground like the dog." Ibn Hajar (Fathul-Bârî) quoted Ibn Daqiq Al-'Eid saying: "The perceived straightness sought in bowing is not the same here. For there it is having the neck and back level, and what is sought here is raising the lower parts above the higher parts."

Commentary
a. We must undertake journeys to gain religious knowledge and attend the company of great scholars.
b. Coming to know about the movements of a person by glancing out of the corners of one's eyes (without turning the face) does not invalidate the prayer. Turning the neck to see something during prayer is prohibited.
