EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is narrated by Abu Qatada and it teaches us about how we should pray. It explains that when we are praying, we must face towards the qibla which is a specific direction in Mecca. If something gets in between us and this direction, such as an object like a saddle, then our prayer will not be accepted if we bow down or prostrate ourselves in any other direction. This teaches us to always make sure our prayers are directed towards Mecca so they can be accepted by Allah.
