When Hatim al Asamm was asked about his prayer, he said,
"When it is near
the time of prayer, I perform a perfect Wudu and go to where I am going to
pray and sit down there until I become fully attentive to what I am about to
do.
I then stand up and pray, imagining that the Ka`bah is in front of my
eyes, Paradise to my right, Hellfire to my left and the Angel of Death behind me.
I imagine that it is the last prayer I am about to perform, stand up in hope (in Allah, His Paradise and rewards) and fear (from Allah's torment in Hellfire) and recite the Takbir while
having full attention.
I recite the Qur'an calmly, make Ruku` humbly, go into
Sujud with Khushu' and then sit on my left leg, with the left food laid on
the floor and the right food raised up, all the while praying with sincerity.
Afterwards, I do not know (nor feel certain) if that prayer was accepted
from me!"
[Al Ihya 1/179]
