بَابُ : الْمُصَلِّي يُسَلَّمُ عَلَيْهِ كَيْفَ يَرُدُّ
Chapter: If the greeting is given to a person who is performing Prayer, how should he respond?
Hadith 1018
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَنِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِحَاجَةٍ ، ثُمَّ أَدْرَكْتُهُ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي ، فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيَّ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ دَعَانِي فَقَالَ : " إِنَّكَ سَلَّمْتَ عَلَيَّ آنِفًا وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي " .
´It was narrated that Jabir said:` “The Prophet (ﷺ) sent me on an errand, then I caught up with him while he was performing prayer, and I greeted him. He gestured to me, then when he finished, he called me and said: ‘You greeted me before, but I was performing prayer.’”
