[Machine] She said, Abu Jahl bin Huthayfah presented a Syrian shirt to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and she had a flag on it so he witnessed the prayer with it. When he finished, he said, "Return this shirt to Abu Jahl, for I looked at its flag during prayer and it nearly distracted me."  

أحمد:٢٥٤٤٥قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ وحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ أَهْدَى أَبُو جَهْمِ بْنُ حُذَيْفَةَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ خَمِيصَةً شَامِيَّةً لَهَا عَلَمٌ فَشَهِدَ فِيهَا الصَّلَاةَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ رُدِّي هَذِهِ الْخَمِيصَةَ إِلَى أَبِي جَهْمٍ فَإِنِّي نَظَرْتُ إِلَى عَلَمِهَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَكَادَ يَفْتِنُنِي

Yahya related to me from Malik from AIqama ibn Abi AIqama from his mother that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ said, "Abu Jahm ibn Hudhayfa gave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a fine striped garment from Syria and he did the prayer in it. When he had finished he said, 'Give this garment back to Abu Jahm. I lookedat its stripes in the prayer and they almost distracted me.' "

[Machine] Abu Jahl bin Hudaifah presented a Syrian garment with a flag on it as a gift to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He wore it during prayer, and when he finished, he said, "Return this garment to Abu Jahl, for I looked at its flag during prayer, and it almost distracted me." Al-Shafi'i said, "We did not know if he prostrated due to forgetfulness." Abu Talhah looked at a wall and mentioned this to the Prophet ﷺ , but we do not know if he commanded him to prostrate for forgetfulness.
