Allāh ﷻ says in the Qur'an:
إِنَّ ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَ يُخَٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَهُوَ خَٰدِعُهُمۡ وَإِذَا قَامُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ قَامُواْ كُسَالَىٰ يُرَآءُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ وَلَا يَذۡكُرُونَ ٱللَّهَ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا
Indeed, the hypocrites [think to] deceive Allāh, but He is deceiving them. And when they stand for prayer, they stand lazily, showing [themselves to] the people and not remembering Allāh except a little
[4:142]

Narrated by Abdur Rahman ibn Shibl:
The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) prohibited to peck like a crow (praying too fast).
[Graded hasan (good) by al-Albani in Sunan Abi Dawud 862, also found in Sunan Ibn Majah 627]

Anas رضي الله عنه reported:
The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said, “This is the prayer of the hypocrites: He sits watching the sun decline until it is between the two horns of Shaithan, then he quickly pecks the ground four times while he only remembers Allāh for a few moments.”
[Sahih Muslim 622]

Narrated by Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“No prayer is heavier upon the hypocrites than the Fajr and the `Isha' prayers and if they knew what is in them (in reward), they would have attended them, even if (it was) crawling. Certainly, I felt the urge to order the Mu'adh-dhin (call-maker) so that he would pronounce Iqama, then order a man to lead the people (in prayer), then take a flame of fire so that I burn (the houses) upon those who had not left for the prayer yet.”
[Sahih al-Bukhari 657]
