*Let's continue on these Hadiths*👇.                                                 Volume 1, Book 8, Number 369:

Narrated 'Aisha:

the Prophet 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."

                                        Concentrating during swalat is one essential aspect we have to look to acquire maximum reward. In the first Hadith, Prophet discourage us from praying in garments that have marks on them. He encouraged garments without marks. One will ask *what if the Mark is at the back of my garment/shirt?*. This will also distract congregation at ur back too. Though it is better to have at the spot if the sujjud some chose to gaze otherwise. And if such people happened to be at ur back, what will happen when u wore these kind of shirts?.

We should go to the mosque not to only make sure our prayers are accepted but that of others as well. Placing objects in the sujjud spot aren't also encouraged for it deter people's concentration. The second Hadith remind us of a sunna done by our Holy Prophet. Anas bin Malik confessed Prophet once prayed in shoes. During those times, the floor of the mosque used to bare floor mostly without tiles or screened. For this is why It was encouraged by then to pray with shoes and sandals. There's a narration which even states anytime Ali Bun Abu Talib had differences with Fatima, he goes to the mosque and bury part of his body in the desert sand of the mosque. That's why he was sometimes called *Abu Turab*

In one authentic narration, Prophet happened to be praying with shoes for which Allah revealed to him via Angel Gabriel that his shoe contain impurity for which he quickly threw it away in the course of Swalat. Before a shoe/sandals can be qualified for swalat, it should be clean devoid of dirt be it urine, excreta or what have you. The last Hadith remind us the need for performing our nawafil swalat in our homes. Obligatory prayers should be better done in mosques whereas the optional one's be done in homes. Graves is where swalat aren't encouraged and that's why Prophet warn us not to take our houses as graves.

                                        Volume 1, Book 12, Number 814:

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

The Prophet said, "Whoever eats garlic or onion should keep away from our mosque or should remain in his house." (Jabir bin 'Abdullah, in another narration said, "Once a big pot containing cooked vegetables was brought. On finding unpleasant smell coming from it, the Prophet asked, 'What is in it?' He was told all the names of the vegetables that were in it. The Prophet ordered that it should be brought near to some of his companions who were with him. When the Prophet saw it he disliked to eat it and said, 'Eat. (I don't eat) for I converse with those whom you don't converse with (i.e. the angels)."

We are encouraged to separate our arms from our body during prayers according to the Hadith. If we are truly the ummah of this Noble Prophet then we should try to emulate this ethics of him. No doubt Garlic and onion are vital to the well-being of the human system, but taking them before going to mosque is not encouraged. They leave an unpleasant smell in one's mouth which is irritated when other people hears it. Prophet was asked why he don't take them and his reply was that *He converse with angels* who ironically don't like them. There's no wrong taking them but doing that before attending mosque is discouraged as we said.

An abondoned sunnah of our Noble Prophet is facing the congregation after swalat. Prophet had the habit of doing so, so is why we should also emulate. In one narration he faced the congregation after after swalat and gave them inspirational stories. In our mosques the imam proceed to supplications for the umma. We should produce time for our Creator even after swalat as we do that to our various activities which are insignificant as compared to swalat.
