Musnad Abi Ya'la 2257 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me on some
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءٌ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : أَرْسَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَانْطَلَقْتُ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ وَقَدْ قَضَيْتُهَا ، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي مَا اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : لَعَلَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَجَدَ عَلَيَّ أَنِّي أَبْطَأْتُ ، فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ ، فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْأُولَى ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ ، وَقَالَ : إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أَرُدَّ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا أَنِّي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي ، وَكَانَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ مُتَوَجِّهًا لِغَيْرِ الْقِبْلَةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me on some errand. I went, completed the task and returned. Then I came into the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and greeted him with salam, but he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not return my greeting, and a feeling came over my heart that Allah alone knows best. I said to myself: Perhaps the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is displeased with me because I was late. Then I greeted him (peace and blessings be upon him) again, but he (peace and blessings be upon him) again did not reply, and this caused me even greater distress in my heart than the first time. Then I greeted him (a third time), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) returned the greeting and said: "Nothing prevented me from returning your greeting except that I was praying." At that time he (peace and blessings be upon him) was mounted on his riding animal, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was facing a direction other than the qiblah.
