Sahih al-Bukhari 373 (Book 8, Hadith 25) #369
Distraction During Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was distracted during prayer due to the marks on his Khamisa, so he asked for an Inbijaniya without any marks.

Narrated 'Aisha: the Prophet prayed in a Khamisa (a square garment) having marks. During the prayer, he looked at its marks. So when he finished the prayer he said, "Take this Khamisa of mine to Abu Jahm and get me his Inbijaniya (a woolen garment without marks) as it (the Khamisa) has diverted my attention from the prayer". Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet said, 'I was looking at its (Khamisa's) marks during the prayers and I was afraid that it may put me in trial (by taking away my attention).
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى فِي خَمِيصَةٍ لَهَا أَعْلاَمٌ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَى أَعْلاَمِهَا نَظْرَةً، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ ‏"‏ اذْهَبُوا بِخَمِيصَتِي هَذِهِ إِلَى أَبِي جَهْمٍ وَائْتُونِي بِأَنْبِجَانِيَّةِ أَبِي جَهْمٍ، فَإِنَّهَا أَلْهَتْنِي آنِفًا عَنْ صَلاَتِي ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ كُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عَلَمِهَا وَأَنَا فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَأَخَافُ أَنْ تَفْتِنَنِي

QUICK LESSONS:
Focus your mind and heart when you pray; avoid anything that takes away your attention while praying; strive to connect with Allah through prayer .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of focusing during prayer. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was praying in a garment called a Khamisa which had some markings on it. He noticed these markings and became distracted from his prayer, so he asked for an Inbijaniya which did not have any markings on it. This shows us that we should be careful to avoid anything that can take away our attention when we are praying, as this can prevent us from getting the full benefit of our prayers. We should also strive to focus our minds and hearts when we pray, so that we can truly connect with Allah and receive His blessings.
