Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

Writings on clothes have no effect on the validity of the Prayer, and there is no connection between the two matters.

We advise you to repel these whispers, not pay any attention to them, and endeavor to treat them.

Allah Knows best.
