3550. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prayed in a Khamisah[1] that had markings on it. Then he said: 'These markings distracted me. Take it to Abu Jahm and bring me an Anbijāniyyah.'"[2]

Arabic text

3550 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي خَمِيصَةٍ لَهَا أَعْلَامٌ، فَقَالَ: «شَغَلَنِي أَعْلَامُ هَذِهِ، اذْهَبُوا بِهَا إِلَى أَبِي جَهْمٍ، وَأْتُونِي بِأَنْبِجَانِيَّتِهِ»

Commentary

The area in front of a praying person should be free from the decorations and paintings that may catch his attention. Therefore, praying on colorful prayer-mats is not appropriate. Decorating the walls of a mosque is also not suitable, as it also diverts the attention of a praying person from his prayer. Simple dress is desirable for males. If one is compelled to refuse a gift of a person then he should make his excuse clear to him.
