Follow instructions given by the Prophet Muhammad, Abide by Islamic teachings while praying, Ensure prayers are accepted by Allah Almighty .

This hadith speaks of a situation in which Hasan bin 'Ali was performing prayer with his hair braided. Upon seeing this, Abu Rafi, who was a freed slave of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) undid it or told him not to do that and said that the Messenger of Allah forbade a man from performing prayer with his hair braided. This hadith teaches us that we should follow all instructions given by our beloved Prophet and abide by them in order to gain rewards from Allah Almighty. We should also take care to ensure that we are following all Islamic teachings while praying so as to make sure our prayers are accepted by Allah Almighty.
