You only get the reward of what you could comprehend of your Salaah (Majmoo Fataawah).\n\nUmar (ra) once saw a man fiddling with his hand during Salaah, "If his heart was submissive then so would his limbs" (Majmoo Fataawah).\n\nYaa Rab-bigh-firlee stated thrice in prostration, He will then be forgiven before he even lifts his head (Ibn Abee Shaibah).\n\nIf a person remembers death in his Salaah he will then be likely to offer it well, thus pray as if its your last Prayer (Daylamee).\n\nSummary on how to protect your Salaah\nSort any worldly affair before praying\nEat little before Salaah\nOffer the movements in Salaah calmly with grace and serenity\nDo not unnecessarily cough or blow your nose\nDo not wipes one's forehead in Salaah\nComprehend upon one's speech in Salaah\nRemember one's death in Salaah\nOffer each Salaah as if it's your last.\n\nA shaitan appears in the form of a black snake to distract Taabi'ee Aamir ibn Abdullah ibn Abd Qays (rah) Salah (Abu Nu'aym).
