حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ بُغَيْلٍ الْمُرْهِبِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ ، عَنْ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، " أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَضَّهُمْ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَنَهَاهُمْ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفُوا قَبْلَ انْصِرَافِهِ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ " .
Anas said: The prophet ﷺ persuaded them to say prayer in congregation and prohibited them to leave before he goes away from the prayer.

624. Commentary:
Although it is permissible to stand up after the (concluding) salam, in that era the female Companions (sahabiyyat) also used to attend the prayer and they would be in the back rows. Therefore, they were instructed to wait for a short while so that they could leave the mosque before the men. Furthermore, men and women should not intermingle on the way (out). Additionally, this also serves as a reminder not to be neglectful of the prescribed supplications (adhkar) after the salam. Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah writes that the part of this narration regarding “encouragement for prayer” is weak.
