The Disliked Movement.

The Shaykh : The third section: A disliked movement: and it is a slight movement without need.
This slight movement without need is disliked, because it is frivolity that contradicts humility, as we observe in many people who look at the clock while praying, or adjust their turban, or Satan reminds them of something they forgot while they are in their prayer, so they take out a pen and write down what they forgot so that it does not get lost afterwards.
Yes.
And its examples are many.
A slight movement that a person has no need for, so it becomes disliked because it contradicts the perfection of humility.
Now, is it included in this for a person to stretch himself while he is praying?
We seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him.
Is it included in this for a person to stretch himself while he is praying?
Meaning, does he stretch himself while he is praying or not?
The students: No.

The Shaykh : Why? This is a slight movement, just once.
Now, cracking the fingers?
The student: It is disliked.

The Shaykh : It is from the slight movement, so it is disliked.
