Bayhaqi 3873 — One who looked in his prayer at something

أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، كَانَ يُصَلِّي فِي حَائِطٍ لَهُ فَطَارَدَ بِشَيْءٍ فَطَفِقَ يَتَرَدَّدُ يَلْتَمِسُ مَخْرَجًا فَأَعْجَبَهُ ذَلِكَ فَجَعَلَ يُتْبِعُهُ بَصَرَهُ سَاعَةً، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ لَا يَدْرِي كَمْ صَلَّى فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ أَصَابَنِي فِي مَالِي هَذَا فِتْنَةٌ، فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ الَّذِي أَصَابَهُ فِي حَائِطِهِ مِنَ الْفِتْنَةِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هُوَ صَدَقَةٌ فَضَعْهُ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ ".
Abdullah bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Abu Talhah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) was praying in his garden when a pigeon came flying; (because the garden was dense) it kept going back and forth looking for a way out. This amazed him, and for a while his gaze followed the bird. Then, when his attention returned to the prayer, he could not remember how much of the prayer he had prayed. So he said: "This property of mine (the garden) has put me to trial." He came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned the incident that had happened to him in the garden, which had put him to trial, and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I give it as charity; dispose of it as you wish."
