*📝. HOW TO ELIMINATE INTERRUPTION, TO CONCENTRATE IN PRAYER*
>> *It's a devil. His name is Khinzib*
In prayer, sometimes thoughts come to reduce the concentration of prayer. What should be done to get fervent prayer, and get rid of these disturbing thoughts?
This kind of case was experienced by one of his friends, namely Uthman bin Abil 'Ash radhiallahu' anhu. He came to the Prophet ﷺ complaining about the disturbance he experienced while praying. *Then he ﷺ said:*
ذاك شيطان يقال له خنزب فإذا أحسسته فتعوذ بالله منه واتفل على يسارك ثلاثاً
“It is *a devil. His name is Khinzib.*
*_If you feel disturbed, ask Allah for protection from his disturbance and spit to the left three times."_*
Said Uthman, *"I did it too, then Allah removed the distraction from me."*
[HR. Muslim, no. 2203]
*☑️Hadith Lessons:*
In the above hadith the Prophet ﷺ teaches us two ways to get rid of Satan's distraction in prayer:
1. Asking Allah for protection by reading ta'awudz (A'udzu billahi minas syaithanir rajim). This recitation is recited, not silently. This is lawful and does not invalidate prayer.
2. Spit lightly to the left by blowing air that contains a little saliva. This is allowed, provided that it does not disturb the person on the left and does not pollute the mosque.
Allahu a'lam.
