Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took a shoulder (of goat's meat) and after wiping his hand with a cloth on which he was sitting, he got up and prayed.
The Prophet Muhammad was an example for all Muslims to follow and this hadith is a reminder for all believers to take care of their hygiene before engaging in any religious activity such as prayer or reciting Quran. We should always strive to be clean and tidy when performing any religious act so that we can show respect towards Allah's commands and teachings.
