Etiquette of Prayer
Maintaining stillness (tuma'ninah) in bowing and prostration
The Prophet (SAW) told the man who prayed poorly to bow and prostrate "until you are at rest" in each position before moving to the next.
Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (RA)
Explanation
Moving too quickly between positions is described elsewhere by the Prophet as theft from one's own prayer.
