924. It was reported from Abū Wā'il, from 'Abdullāh (bin Mas'ūd) who said: "We would give each other Salām during the prayer, and would command others regarding something that we needed. Once, I came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ while he was praying, and greeted him, but he did not respond to it! So I became anxious, wondering which of my deeds might have
caused this! But when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ completed the prayer, he said: 'Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, brings about new (rulings) from His Command, as He wills. And of the matters that Allāh, the Most High, has brought about is that you should not talk during the prayer.' And he then returned the Salām to me."
