English translation

3875. Narrated 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: We used to greet the Prophet ﷺ while he used to be in Ṣalāt (prayers), and he used to reply to our greetings. But when we came back from Najāshī (the king of Ethiopia) we greeted him [while he was offering Ṣalāt (prayer)] and he did not reply to us. We said, "O Allāh's Messenger! We used to greet you in the past and you used to reply to us.” He said, “Verily, one is occupied and busy with more important matter during the Ṣalāt (prayer).”

Arabic text

3875 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا، فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّجَاشِيِّ سَلَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْنَا، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّا كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ فَتَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّ فِي الصَّلاَةِ شُغْلًا» فَقُلْتُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ: كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ: «أَرُدُّ فِي نَفْسِي»
