English translation
4534. Narrated Zaid bin Arqam: We used to speak while in Ṣalāt (prayer). One of us used to speak to his brother (while in Ṣalāt) about his need, till the Verse was revealed: "Guard strictly the (five obligatory) Aṣ-Ṣalawāt (the prayers), especially the middle Ṣalāt (i.e., the best – Aṣr). And stand before Allāh with obedience [and not speak to others during the Ṣalāt (prayers)]." (V.2:238) Then we were ordered not to speak in the Ṣalāt.
