WHEN ALLAH DOES NOT ACCEPT A PRAYER

806

“Someone prayed wearing a lengthened loin cloth, the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, told him, ‘Go and remake your ablution.’ The man did this and returned. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, told him again, ‘Go and remake your ablution.’ A Companion who was present said to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, you asked him to remake his ablution and then remained silent.’ He replied, ‘He says his prayer wearing a lengthened loin cloth. Allah does not accept the prayer of a man who lengthens his loin cloth.’"

Abu Daud with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
