Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me for some task. When I returned, you were on your mount at that time. I greeted you with salam, but you did not reply to me. Then I saw you indicating rukū‘ and sujūd (bowing and prostrating) with gestures, so I stood aside. Then you said to me: "What did you do about your task?" I replied: I have done such and such. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I did not reply to your salam because I was performing prayer."
