حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يَزَالُ أَحَدُکُمْ فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا کَانَتْ الصَّلَاةُ تَحْبِسُهُ لَا يَمْنَعُهُ أَنْ يَنْقَلِبَ إِلَی أَهْلِهِ إِلَّا الصَّلَاةُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 470
Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying; one is considered to be at prayer so long as one is detained by prayer: Nothing prevents one from going home to one’s family except prayer.
