Characteristics Of Prayer: Concentration in Prayers

Volume 001 :: Book 012 (Characteristics Of Prayer) :: Hadith 717

Narated By Anas bin Malik :

The Prophet said, "What is wrong with those people who look towards the sky during the prayer?" His talk grew stern while delivering this speech and he said, "They should stop (looking towards the sky during the prayer); otherwise their eye-sight would be taken away."


Volume 001 :: Book 012 (Characteristics Of Prayer) :: Hadith 718

Narated By 'Aisha :

I asked Allah's Apostle about looking hither and thither in prayer. He replied, "It is a way of stealing by which Satan takes away (a portion) from the prayer of a person."


Volume 001 :: Book 012 (Characteristics Of Prayer) :: Hadith 719

Narated By 'Aisha :

Once the Prophet prayed on a Khamisa with marks on it and said, "The marks on it diverted my attention, take this Khamisa to Abu Jahm and bring an Inbijaniya (from him.)"


Volume 001 :: Book 012 (Characteristics Of Prayer) :: Hadith 810

Narated By 'Uqba :

I offered the 'Asr prayer behind the Prophet at Medina. When he had finished the prayer with Taslim, he got up hurriedly and went out by crossing the rows of the people to one of the dwellings of his wives. The people got scared at his speed. The Prophet came back and found the people surprised at his haste and said to them, "I remembered a piece of gold Lying in my house and I did not like it to divert my attention from Allah's worship, so I have ordered it to be distributed (in charity)."


Volume 001 :: Book 012 (Characteristics Of Prayer) :: Hadith 811

Narated By 'Abdullah :

You should not give away a part of your prayer to Satan by thinking that it is necessary to depart (after finishing the prayer) from one's right side only; I have seen the Prophet often leave from the left side.
