Arabic text

1019 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: " كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، فَقِيلَ لَنَا: إِنَّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ لَشُغْلًا "

Commentary

A person performing prayer cannot greet anyone, but others can greet him with Salām. The worshiper cannot respond by word of mouth but he can respond by a gesture.
