1366. It was narrated that 'Uqbah bin Al-Hârith said: "I prayed 'Asr with the Prophet ﷺ in Al-Madīnah, then he left, stepping over the necks of the people, so quickly that the people were surprised at his haste. He entered unto one of his wives, then he came out and said: 'While I was praying 'Asr, I remembered some gold that we had, and I did not want it to stay with us overnight, so I ordered that it be distributed.'"(Sahīh)
1365 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ النَّوْفَلِيِّ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعَصْرَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ يَتَخَطَّى رِقَابَ النَّاسِ سَرِيعًا حَتَّى تَعَجَّبَ النَّاسُ لِسُرْعَتِهِ، فَتَبِعَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَى بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِهِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ، فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي ذَكَرْتُ وَأَنَا فِي الْعَصْرِ شَيْئًا مِنْ تِبْرٍ كَانَ عِنْدَنَا، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ يَبِيتَ عِنْدَنَا فَأَمَرْتُ بِقِسْمَتِهِ»

This indicates the Prophet's ﷺ selflessness; he was not prepared to allow wealth to stay with him even for the period of a night. May Allāh reward him with the best of rewards. If some thought occurs or bestirs itself in the mind during the prayer, the prayer is not invalidated by it.
