Sunan Abi Dawud 693 (Book 2, Hadith 303) #20984
Praying with Respect

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) never prayed in front of an object without having it to the side of his right or left eyebrow, and not facing it directly.

Narrated Al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad: I never saw the Messenger of Allah praying in front of a stick, a pillar, or a tree, without having it opposite his right or left eyebrow, and not facing it directly.
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ كَامِلٍ، عَنِ الْمُهَلَّبِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ الْبَهْرَانِيِّ، عَنْ ضُبَاعَةَ بِنْتِ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا، قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي إِلَى عُودٍ وَلاَ عَمُودٍ وَلاَ شَجَرَةٍ إِلاَّ جَعَلَهُ عَلَى حَاجِبِهِ الأَيْمَنِ أَوِ الأَيْسَرِ وَلاَ يَصْمُدُ لَهُ صَمْدًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that when we pray, we should do so with respect and humility. We should not face any object directly while praying, but rather have it to the side of our right or left eyebrow. This shows that we are aware that Allah is watching us and that He is greater than any other thing around us. We must also remember to keep our focus on Allah during prayer and not be distracted by anything else around us.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a great example for all Muslims in how to pray properly with respect and humility. He taught us how important it is to maintain a respectful attitude towards Allah when praying, as this will help ensure that our prayers are accepted by Him. By following his example, we can ensure that our prayers are sincere and meaningful.
