English translation

[1203] 35 - (539) It was narrated that Zaid bîn Arqam said: "We used to speak during the prayer; a man would speak to the one next to him while they were praying, until the verse was revealed: "...And stand before Allâh with obedience [and do not speak to others during the Salât][2] Then we were commanded to remain silent and forbidden to speak."

Arabic text

35 - (539) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ شُبَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، قَالَ:: " كُنَّا نَتَكَلَّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ يُكَلِّمُ الرَّجُلُ صَاحِبَهُ وَهُوَ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ {وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ} [البقرة: 238] فَأُمِرْنَا بِالسُّكُوتِ، وَنُهِينَا عَنِ الْكَلَامِ "
