Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) descended from the pulpit after the iqamah for prayer had been pronounced. A man came and began to speak with him regarding some of his needs. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood with him until the man had fulfilled his need, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advanced and led the prayer.
