(Book 3, Hadith 72) #35273
Distractions During Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was given a striped garment from Syria and he found it distracting during prayer, so he asked to return it.

Yahya related to me from Malik from AIqama ibn Abi AIqama from his mother that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Abu Jahm ibn Hudhayfa gave the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, a fine striped garment from Syria and he did the prayer in it. When he had finished he said, 'Give this garment back to Abu Jahm. I looked at its stripes in the prayer and they almost distracted me'. "
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ قَالَتْ أَهْدَى أَبُو جَهْمِ بْنُ حُذَيْفَةَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ خَمِيصَةً شَامِيَّةً لَهَا عَلَمٌ فَشَهِدَ فِيهَا الصَّلاَةَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ رُدِّي هَذِهِ الْخَمِيصَةَ إِلَى أَبِي جَهْمٍ فَإِنِّي نَظَرْتُ إِلَى عَلَمِهَا فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَكَادَ يَفْتِنُنِي

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about distractions during prayer. Abu Jahm ibn Hudhayfa gave the Messenger of Allah a fine striped garment from Syria and when he did his prayer in it, he noticed that its stripes were distracting him. He then asked to give the garment back to Abu Jahm as a reminder that we should be mindful of what we wear while praying so that our focus remains on our prayers instead of being distracted by other things. This hadith teaches us to be aware of our surroundings and not let anything distract us while praying as this can take away from our concentration on God's words. It also reminds us to dress modestly when performing salat so that we can remain focused on worshipping God without any distractions or temptations getting in the way.
