مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 4971 — he said: We used to greet the Prophet ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ : كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا ، يَعْنِي فِي الصَّلَاةِ ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ جِئْنَا مِنْ أَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ ، فَأَخَذَنِي مَا بَعُدَ وَمَا قَرُبَ ، فَجَلَسْتُ حَتَّى إِذَا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ ، قُلْتُ لَهُ : إِنَّكَ كُنْتَ تَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ اللهَ يُحْدِثُ مَا شَاءَ ، وَقَدْ أَحْدَثَ فِي أَمْرِهِ قَضَاءً ، أَنْ لَا تَتَكَلَّمُوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "We used to greet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with salam (while he was in prayer), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would return our greeting. Then when we came back from the land of Abyssinia, I greeted him (peace and blessings be upon him), but he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not return my greeting. At this, such states of grief, worry and misgiving came over me as Allah alone knows best. Then I sat down until, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished the prayer, I said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): You used to return our greeting? At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Indeed, Allah Almighty brings about whatever new command He wills in His commands, and He has now issued this decree in His command: that you must not talk during the prayer.'"
