Anas related that the messenger of Allah said: ''My dear son, be sure to avoid being distracted during prayer: to become distracted while praying is a disaster!''

Abu Hurayrah reported: ''The messenger of Allah (PBUH) saif: 'When a servant of Allah stands in prayer' – I think he said – 'he stands before none other than the All-Merciful, Blessed and exalted is He says: ''Who are you thinking of instead? some one better than me? O son of Adam, come to me: I am better than the one of whom you are thinking''.
