Who is the Imam who, due to the intensity of his devotion in prayer, did not notice a snake that fell on him during his prayer, and can devotion in prayer reach this extent, and if it is true, how can we achieve it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no knowledge of an Imam upon whom a snake fell while he was praying. Devotion (khushu') in prayer can transcend such occurrences, just as it happened with Abdullah ibn Al-Zubair, Urwah ibn Al-Zubair, and Abbad ibn Bishr, who would forget everything around them due to their delight in communing with Allah during prayer.
