EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about how important it is to pray without distraction or interruption. It was narrated by Nafi’ ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab who reported that Prophet Muhammad said “When any one of you stands for prayer and there is a thing before him equal to the back of the saddle that covers him and in case there is not before him a thing equal to the back of the saddle, his prayer would be cut off by passing an ass, woman or black dog”. This means that if someone wants their prayers to be accepted then they must make sure nothing interrupts them while praying such as animals like donkeys or horses; women; or even a black dog passing in front them. It teaches us how important it is for us to focus on our prayers without being distracted so we can receive God's blessings from our prayers.
