Category: Yawning During Prayer
Yawning During Prayer ~ Yawning in prayer is not always a sign of laziness or hypocrisy from oneself. Rasulullah and scholars said yawning during prayer came from Satan’s disturbance. read the link above u’ll get it.
According to Saintyves, Islam sees yawning as a sign of Satan entering the body, and sneezing as a sign of his leaving the body. Assas-bou-Malek and others all date this opinion back to the Prophet: “The Prophet said that Satan endeavours to distract the faithful in prayer. This is Allah’s way of testing them. One way Satan distracts the faithful is by dominating their thoughts, infiltrating their minds during prayer. Another way is by making them yawn to divert attention away from their prayers. The Prophet told us that yawning is prompted by Satan and gave us the order to avoid it whenever possible. When it becomes inevitable, we must close our mouth with our hand.”
