Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks about the movement that invalidates the prayer when it is excessive, and what are the specific causes that help one achieve humility in the prayer?
Answer:
The movement that invalidates the prayer is the excessive, continuous movement without need. These are the conditions: that it be excessive, that it be continuous, and that it be without need. If these are met, it invalidates the prayer. What helps one achieve humility in the prayer is remembering the greatness of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and standing before Him, and the presence of the heart when reciting the Qur'an that he reads in his prayer, and when making supplication, and when bowing and prostrating. Also, what helps one achieve humility is avoiding the distractions that disturb his prayer. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade praying in the presence of food until one has satisfied his appetite, so that he would not be preoccupied with it in the prayer. He also forbade praying while a person is struggling to relieve himself of the two impurities, urine or feces, so that he can devote himself to the prayer. Likewise, praying in a place that is extremely hot or extremely cold, because this reduces one's humility. And other matters that help him, as well as when weakness comes to him. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade haste when a person comes to the prayer. He said (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Muslim 602c because speed stirs up the soul, preoccupied the person, and he may enter the prayer without full awareness. Yes.
