حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَيْمَنَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لَهُ يَعْنِي لِعُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا تُصَلُّوا خَلْفَ النَّائِمِ وَلَا الْمُتَحَدِّثِ " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet ﷺ said: Do not pray behind a sleeping or a talking person.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
694. Commentary:
It is established from authentic ahadith that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would perform prayer and (at times) Aisha (radi Allahu anha) would be lying asleep in front of him. See: [صحيح بخار ي، حديث : 382 وصحيح مسلم، حديث : 512]
It is thus understood that this is permissible. However, in places where people are engaged in conversation and are facing the qiblah, it is apparent that this could cause distraction to the one praying and disturb his humility (khushu‘). Therefore, in such situations, it is better to exercise caution as well.
