772. It was narrated from 'Āishah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prayed in a Khamīṣah that had markings, then he said: "These markings distracted me. Take it to Abū Jahm and bring me his Anbijānī (A woolen garment with no markings)."
771 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى فِي خَمِيصَةٍ لَهَا أَعْلَامٌ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «شَغَلَتْنِي أَعْلَامُ هَذِهِ. اذْهَبُوا بِهَا إِلَى أَبِي جَهْمٍ، وَأْتُونِي بِأَنْبِجَانِيِّهِ»

1. This ornamental or figured sheet had been sent by Abū Jahm as a gift. The return of the sheet might have hurt the feelings of Abū Jahm, therefore the gift was exchanged. 2. Anbajān used to be a plain, ordinary sheet having no border. (Anbajān: of wool, having a nap, or pile without a border, one of the most ordinary kind of garments - Lane Vol. 2 P. 2755). Anbajan was a locality where these sheets were manufactured. 3. Allāh's Messenger's ﷺ heart was so pure that he felt even a slightest wave. A passing thought even must have affected him greatly, otherwise praying in a bordered ornamented cloth is permissible.
