Sunan Ibn Majah 1048 (Book 5, Hadith 246) #30400
Praying with Simplicity

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was seen praying in a single garment, wrapped around himself.

Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri narrated that he entered upon the Messenger of Allah when he was performing prayer in a single garment, wrapping himself in it.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ مُتَوَشِّحًا بِهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Focus on sincerity rather than outward appearances while praying

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the simplicity and humility of the Prophet Muhammad's prayer. He was seen praying in a single garment, wrapping himself in it. This shows that he did not need to wear fancy clothing or adorn himself with jewelry to be devoted to his prayer. It also serves as an example for us to follow; we should strive for simplicity and humility when we pray, rather than focusing on outward appearances or material possessions. We should remember that our devotion is towards Allah alone and not towards any worldly items or people.

The Prophet Muhammad's example teaches us that true piety lies within our hearts and minds, not within what we wear or own. We should strive for sincerity in our prayers and focus on connecting with Allah through them instead of worrying about how we look while doing so. By following this example, we can ensure that our prayers are accepted by Allah and bring us closer to Him each time we perform them.
