أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو النَّضْرِ الْفَقِيهُ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أنبأ هُشَيْمٌ (ح) وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْمُثَنَّى، ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ شُبَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: " كَانَ أَحَدُنَا يُكَلِّمُ يَعْنِي صَاحِبَهُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ {قُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ} [البقرة: ٢٣٨] فَأُمِرْنَا بِالسُّكُوتِ وَنُهِينَا عَنِ الْكَلَامِ " هَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ هُشَيْمٍ وَقَالَ أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ شُبَيْلٍ، وَفِي حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى الْقَطَّانِ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ثنا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ شُبَيْلٍ وَقَالَ فِي مَتْنِهِ: " كُنَّا نَتَكَلَّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ يُكَلِّمُ أَحَدُنَا أَخَاهُ فِي حَاجَتِهِ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ {حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ} [البقرة: ٢٣٨] فَأُمِرْنَا بِالسُّكُوتِ رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ مُسَدَّدٍ وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى.
(a) Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: In the beginning, any one of us would talk with the person beside him during prayer. When this verse was revealed: "And stand before Allah in devout silence" [Surah al-Baqarah: 238], we were commanded to keep silent and to refrain from talking.
(b) Yahya al-Qattan narrates from Isma'il, who narrates from al-Harith bin Shubayl: We used to talk in prayer; any one of us would speak to his brother about any need. But when this verse (was revealed): "Guard the prayers, especially the middle prayer, and stand before Allah in devout silence" [Surah al-Baqarah: 238], we were commanded to refrain from talking.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو بَدْرٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ (ح) وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ بِطُوسَ، أنبأ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ شَوْذَبَ الْمُقْرِئُ بِوَاسِطَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ رَشَدِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ الْكُوفِيُّ بِوَاسِطَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا، فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّجَاشِيِّ سَلَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْنَا، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَتُرَدُّ عَلَيْنَا قَالَ: " إِنَّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شُغْلًا " لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي بَدْرٍ شُجَاعِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كُنْتَ تُرَدُّ عَلَيْنَا مَا لَكَ الْيَوْمَ لَمْ تُرَدَّ عَلَيْنَا؟ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شُغُلًا " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَغَيْرِهِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ فُضَيْلٍ.
(a) Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was in prayer, we would greet him and he would return our greeting. When we returned from the king of Abyssinia (the Negus), we greeted him but he gave us no reply. So we said: O Messenger of Allah, previously we would greet you in prayer and you would reply to us? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In prayer there is preoccupation."
(b) In the narration of Abu Badr Shuja' bin al-Walid: We said: O Messenger of Allah, you used to return our greeting; why did you not return our greeting today? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In prayer there is preoccupation."
(b) In the narration of Abu Badr Shuja' bin al-Walid: We said: O Messenger of Allah, you used to return our greeting; why did you not return our greeting today? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In prayer there is preoccupation."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ فُورَكٍ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، ثنا أَبُو ⦗٣٥٣⦘ دَاوُدَ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ، فَأَخَذَنِي مَا قَدُمَ وَمَا حَدُثَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَحَدَثَ شَيْءٌ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُحْدِثُ لِنَبِيِّهِ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَا شَاءَ، وَإِنْ مِمَّا أَحْدَثَ أَنْ لَا تَكَلَّمُوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I came (from Abyssinia) into the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying at that time. I greeted him (peace and blessings be upon him), but he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not return the greeting. I was seized with worry over old and new matters. (When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had completed the prayer,) I said: O Messenger of Allah, has some new command come? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty sends down for His Prophet whatever new command He wills. Now the new command of Allah is that you should not talk in prayer."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْمُقْرِئُ، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، أنبأ زَائِدَةُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: كُنَّا نَتَكَلَّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَيُسَلِّمُ بَعْضُنَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَيُومِئُ أَحَدُنَا بِالْحَاجَةِ قَالَ: فَجِئْتُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ فَأَخَذَنِي مَا قَدُمَ وَمَا حَدُثَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُحْدِثُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَا يَشَاءُ، وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَحْدَثَ أَنْ لَا تَكَلَّمُوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We used to give greetings, speak and talk to one another about our needs in prayer. But when (on returning from Abyssinia) I came one day into the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying at that time. I greeted him (peace and blessings be upon him), but he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not return the greeting. I was seized with worry over old and new matters. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had completed the prayer, he said: "Allah Almighty sends down whatever new command He wills. Now the new command of Allah Almighty is that you should not talk in prayer."
أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ شِنْظِيرٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: أَرْسَلَنِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَاجَةٍ لَهُ فَجِئْتُ وَقَدْ قَضَيْتُهَا فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ ".
Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me on an errand of his (own), and I returned having completed it. I greeted him (peace and blessings be upon him), but he did not reply. At that time he (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو النَّضْرِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْفَقِيهُ، ثنا ابْنُ رَجَاءٍ يَعْنِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ رَجَاءٍ السِّنْدِيَّ ثنا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، ثنا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنِي كَثِيرُ بْنُ شِنْظِيرٍ، ثنا عَطَاءٌ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: أَرْسَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَاجَةٍ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ وَقَدْ قَضَيْتُهَا، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ، فَوَقَعَ فِي قَلْبِي مَا اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: لَعَلَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَدَ عَلَيَّ أَنَّنِي أَبْطَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْمَرَّةِ الْأُولَى ثُمَّ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ، فَقَالَ: " أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أَرُدَّ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا أَنِّي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي وَكَانَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ مُتَوَجِّهًا لِغَيْرِ الْقِبْلَةِ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ وَأَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me on an errand (during the expedition of Banu al-Mustaliq). I returned having completed it, came into his (peace and blessings be upon him) presence and greeted him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) did not reply. Something came into my heart, Allah knows what, and I said to myself: Perhaps the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is displeased because I came late. Then I greeted him (peace and blessings be upon him) again, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not reply. Now a stronger feeling than the first came into my heart. Then I greeted him a third time, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) replied and said: "Listen! I did not return your greeting only because I was praying." He (peace and blessings be upon him) was riding his she-camel, and it was facing not towards the qiblah but another direction.
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقَاضِي، وَأَبُوعَبْدِ اللهِ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ السُّوسِيُّ، قَالُوا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَبُو عُتْبَةَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ الْحِجَازِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حِمْيَرٍ، ثنا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ السُّلَمِيُّ قَالَ: بَيْنَا أَنَا مَعَ ⦗٣٥٤⦘ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ إِذْ عَطَسَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ، فَحَدَّقَنِي الْقَوْمُ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ، فَقُلْتُ: وَاثُكْلَ أُمِّيَاهُ مَا لَكُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ؟ قَالَ: فَضَرَبُوا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ عَلَى أَفْخَاذِهِمْ قَالَ: فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُمْ يُسَكِّتُونِي لَكِنِّي سَكَتُّ قَالَ: فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ دَعَانِي فَبِأَبِي وَأُمِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا رَأَيْتُ مُعَلِّمًا قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ أَحْسَنَ تَعْلِيمًا مِنْهُ وَاللهِ مَا كَهَرَنِي وَلَا ضَرَبَنِي وَلَا سَبَّنِي قَالَ: " إِنَّ صَلَاتَنَا هَذِهِ لَا يَصْلُحُ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ كَلَامِ النَّاسِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ التَّكْبِيرُ وَالتَّسْبِيحُ وَتِلَاوَةُ الْقُرْآنِ " أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ.
Mu'awiyah bin al-Hakam al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once I was praying (in congregation) with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man sneezed, and I said: 'Yarhamuk Allah' (May Allah have mercy on you). The people began to stare at me. I said: Woe is me, may my mother lose me! Why are you looking at me? Then they began striking their thighs with their hands. When I saw that they were silencing me, I fell silent. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, he called me, may my father and mother be ransomed for him (peace and blessings be upon him). I have never seen, before him or after him, a teacher like the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), better in teaching than him (peace and blessings be upon him). By Allah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) neither struck me, nor scolded me, nor reviled me; he only said: "This is the prayer; talking and the like is not permissible in it. It consists of tasbih, takbir and the recitation of the Qur'an."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ النَّسَائِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، ثنا فُلَيْحٌ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ: لَمَّا قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِمْتُ أُمُورًا مِنْ أُمُورِ الْإِسْلَامِ، فَكَانَ فِيمَا عَلِمْتُ أَنْ قِيلَ لِي: إِذَا عَطَسْتَ فَاحْمَدِ اللهَ وَإِذَا عَطَسَ الْعَاطِسُ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ فَقُلْ: يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ قَالَ: فَبَيْنَا أَنَا قَائِمٌ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ إِذْ عَطَسَ رَجُلٌ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ فَقُلْتُ: يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ رَافِعًا بِهَا صَوْتِي فَرَمَانِي النَّاسُ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ حَتَّى احْتَمَلَنِي ذَلِكَ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا لَكُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ بِأَعْيُنٍ شَزْرٍ؟ قَالَ: فَسَبَّحُوا فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ: " مَنِ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ؟ " قِيلَ: هَذَا الْأَعْرَابِيُّ، فَدَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّمَا الصَّلَاةُ لِقِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ وَذِكْرِ اللهِ، فَإِذَا كُنْتَ فِيهَا فَلْيَكُنْ ذَلِكَ شَأْنَكَ " فَمَا رَأَيْتُ مُعَلِّمًا قَطُّ أَرْفَقَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin al-Hakam al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him): When I came into the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me many rulings of Islam, namely: "When you sneeze, say 'Al-hamdu lillah' (All praise is for Allah); and when someone else sneezes and says 'Al-hamdu lillah', you say 'Yarhamuk Allah' (May Allah have mercy on you)." Once I was standing in prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when suddenly a man sneezed and said 'Al-hamdu lillah' (All praise belongs to Allah alone), and I said in a loud voice 'Yarhamuk Allah' (May Allah have mercy on you). The people began to stare at me until I had to say: What is the matter with you, that you are looking at me with such looks? So they said 'Subhan Allah' (Allah is free of all imperfection). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) completed the prayer, he asked: "Who was the man who spoke?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) was told: This Bedouin. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) called me and said: "The prayer is only for reciting the Qur'an and the remembrance of Allah, so when you are in prayer, engage only in recitation and remembrance." I have not seen any teacher more kind and gentle than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
