*AHADITH PERTAINING TO DISTRACTING PATTERNS IN SALAH*
Sahih al-Bukhari 373Narrated `Aisha:
the *Prophet (ﷺ) prayed* in a Khamisa (a square garment) having marks. During the prayer, *he looked at its marks*. So when he finished the prayer he said, "Take this Khamisa of mine to Abu Jahm
and get me his Inbijaniya (a woolen garment without marks) as it (the Khamisa) has *diverted my attention from the prayer.*"
Narrated `Aisha:
*The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'I was looking at its (Khamisa's) marks during the prayers and I was afraid that it may put me in trial (by taking away my attention).*
*The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'I was looking at its (Khamisa's) marks during the prayers and I was afraid that it may put me in trial (by taking away my attention).*
Al-Bukhari and Muslim have also reported a Hadith narrated by her ['Aishah (RA)] in which is mentioned the story of Abu Jahm's Ambijania (a plain woolen garment) with the addition:*"it (the Khamisa) has distracted me from my prayer."*
