Be mindful and present during our prayers so we can truly benefit from them spiritually and emotionally

This hadith emphasizes the importance of being focused and attentive while praying. It is narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas that Kurayb saw Abdullah ibn al-Harith praying with a black knot tied in his hair. When he finished his prayer he asked Ibn Abbas what he was doing to his head. Ibn Abbas replied that he heard the Prophet Muhammad say that whoever prays with a black knot tied in their hair is like someone who is pinioned or bound while they pray. This means that they are not able to move or be distracted from their prayer because of how tightly bound they are. The lesson here is to be mindful and present during our prayers so we can truly benefit from them spiritually and emotionally.
