Sahih Muslim 556b (Book 5, Hadith 77) #8392
Distraction During Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) was distracted during prayer due to the designs on his garment, so he asked for a blanket instead.

'A'isha reported: The Messenger of Allah stood for prayer with a garment which had designs over it. He looked at these designs and after completing the prayer said: Take this garment to Abu Jahm b. Hudhaifa and bring me a blanket for it has distracted me just now.
حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي فِي خَمِيصَةٍ ذَاتِ أَعْلاَمٍ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى عَلَمِهَا فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلاَتَهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ اذْهَبُوا بِهَذِهِ الْخَمِيصَةِ إِلَى أَبِي جَهْمِ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ وَائْتُونِي بِأَنْبِجَانِيِّهِ فَإِنَّهَا أَلْهَتْنِي آنِفًا فِي صَلاَتِي

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of focusing on prayer and avoiding distractions. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was in the middle of praying when he noticed some designs on his garment, which caused him to become distracted from his prayer. He then asked for a blanket instead so that he could focus better and complete his prayer without any distractions. This teaches us that we should be mindful of our environment when we are praying and avoid anything that may distract us from our worship. We should also strive to create an environment conducive to concentration while praying, such as by wearing plain clothing or using a blanket if necessary.
