Sahih Muslim 556a (Book 5, Hadith 76) #8391
The Distraction of Designs

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was distracted by the designs on his garment, so he asked for a plain blanket instead.

'A'isha reported: The Apostle of Allah prayed in a garment which had designs over it, so he (the Holy Prophet) said: Take it to Abu Jahm and bring me a plain blanket from him, because its designs have distracted me.
حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، ح قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لِزُهَيْرٍ - قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى فِي خَمِيصَةٍ لَهَا أَعْلاَمٌ وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ شَغَلَتْنِي أَعْلاَمُ هَذِهِ فَاذْهَبُوا بِهَا إِلَى أَبِي جَهْمٍ وَائْتُونِي بِأَنْبِجَانِيِّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of focusing during prayer. It teaches us that we should not be distracted by anything when we are praying, including our clothing. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was wearing a garment with designs on it and it distracted him from his prayer, so he asked for a plain blanket instead. This shows us that even something as small as clothing can be distracting and take away from our focus during prayer. We should make sure to wear simple clothing when we pray in order to stay focused and present in the moment.
