Chapter: Speaking During the prayer
Hadith 1220
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي الْحَارِثُ بْنُ شُبَيْلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُكَلِّمُ صَاحِبَهُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ بِالْحَاجَةِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ : حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلاةِ الْوُسْطَى وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ سورة البقرة آية 238 , فَأُمِرْنَا بِالسُّكُوتِ .
´It was narrated that Zaid bin Arqam said:` "We used to speak to each other during the prayer, saying whatever was necessary, at the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), until this verse was revealed: Guard strictly (five obligatory) As-Salawat (the prayers) especially the middle Salah (i.e. the best prayer- 'Asr). And stand before Allah with obedience (and do not speak to others during the Salah (prayers)), so we were commanded to be silent."
