What does one do if he does not feel humility in prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What does one do if he does not feel humility in prayer, and is the prayer accepted?

Answer:
The prayer is not ordered to be repeated because he has prayed, but humility is not among its conditions, pillars, or obligatory acts; rather, it is its spirit. A prayer is not accepted without humility or presence of heart; it is not accepted without presence of heart. And he has no share of his prayer except what he understood of it and in which his heart was present. Therefore, the Muslim must be alert to this matter, and he must avoid the distractions that occupy him from humility. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade praying in the presence of food because it distracts him, and he forbade praying while one is struggling to relieve oneself of the two necessities, urination and defecation, because they are distractions. So a person should enter prayer with a clear mind, in a place and time suitable for his comfort in prayer.
