Wash your feet before prayer ; Wear appropriate clothing for prayer ; Be mindful and respectful towards God/Allah ; Focus during prayer

This hadith emphasizes the importance of cleanliness and proper etiquette during prayer. It was narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas’ud that people should not wash their feet after treading on something unclean nor hold their hair or garments while praying. The tradition has also been reported by Ibrahim b. Abi Mu’awiyah through a different chain of narrators including A'mash, Shaqiq, Masruq and 'Abd Allah (b. Mas'ud). Additionally Hannad reported from Shaqiq or on his authority saying that 'Abd Allah (b. Mas'ud) said this as well. It is important to be mindful of our hygiene before we pray so that we can focus on our prayers without any distractions or disruptions due to dirtiness or improper clothing attire for example holding onto one's garments while praying which is considered disrespectful in Islam according to this hadith .
