أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي غَنِيَّةَ وَاسْمُهُ يَحْيَی بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ وَالْقَاسِمُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْجَرْمِيُّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ عَنْ کُلْثُومٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَهَذَا حَدِيثُ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ کُنْتُ آتِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَأُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ فَيَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ أَشَارَ إِلَی الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَعْنِي أَحْدَثَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ أَنْ لَا تَکَلَّمُوا إِلَّا بِذِکْرِ اللَّهِ وَمَا يَنْبَغِي لَکُمْ وَأَنْ تَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1225
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Ma’sud said: “I used to come to the Prophet when he was praying, and I would greet him with Salam, he would return my greeting. Then I came to him when he was praying, and he did not return my greeting. When he said the Taslim, he pointed to the people and said: ‘Allah has decreed that in the prayer you should not speak except to remember Allah, and it is not appnoprate for you, and that you should stand before Allah with obedience.” (Hasan)
