(Book 4, Hadith 3) #35279
Overcoming Distractions During Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about how to deal with distractions during prayer.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that a man questioned al-Qasim ibn Muhammad saying, "My imagination works in the prayer, and it happens to me a lot". Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad said, "Go on with your prayer, for it will not go away from you until you go away saying, 'I have not completed my prayer'. "
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلاً، سَأَلَ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَهِمُ فِي صَلاَتِي فَيَكْثُرُ ذَلِكَ عَلَىَّ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ امْضِ فِي صَلاَتِكَ فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يَذْهَبَ عَنْكَ حَتَّى تَنْصَرِفَ وَأَنْتَ تَقُولُ مَا أَتْمَمْتُ صَلاَتِي

Continue with your prayer despite distractions or lack of focus

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of concentration and focus during prayer. It is natural for our minds to wander and become distracted while we are praying, but it is important that we do not give in to these distractions. Instead, we should continue with our prayers until they are complete. Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad advises us that if our minds wander during prayer, then we should keep going until the end of the prayer and not give up halfway through. This teaches us that even if our minds become distracted or unfocused during prayer, it is still important to finish what we have started and not give up on ourselves or on God's commands.
