What is the ruling on congregational prayer while suppressing the urge to relieve oneself of the two impurities (feces and urine), when one is able to hold it in?

Presence of heart and emptying it from distractions are required in prayer, and one should prepare oneself and distance whatever occupies the heart from devotion. Therefore, whoever is resisting the two impurities (feces and urine), should relieve himself first, even if he misses the virtue of congregational prayer. Ibn Qudamah mentioned that praying while resisting the two impurities is disliked, but the prayer is valid despite the violation.
