As for the first point: he mentioned it in the folds of his book on the issue of listening, and he said at the end of it: “This is some indication and a very brief summary of the taste of prayer.”
The second point: In his book on prayer and the ruling on one who abandons it, since this chapter, despite its value, was buried among those pages, it was very useful to single it out so that its benefit would be general to all Muslims, with a title that suits its paragraphs.
The third place: in a letter to one of his brothers.
Regarding the word taste, Ibn Taymiyyah, may God have mercy on him, said: “The word taste is used for everything that one senses and finds pain or pleasure in.”
