Abdullah (b. Masu'd) reported:We used to greet the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) while he was engaged in prayer and he would respond to our greeting. But when we returned from the Negus we greeted him and he did not respond to us; so we said: Messenger of Allah. we used to greet you when you were engaged in prayer and you would respond to us. He replied: Prayer demands whole attentionRapporté par Abdullah (b. Mas‘ud) : Nous avions l’habitude de saluer le Messager d’Allah ﷺ alors qu’il priait, et il nous répondait. Mais quand nous sommes revenus du Négus, nous l’avons salué pendant qu’il priait et il ne nous a pas répondu. Nous lui avons dit : « Ô Messager d’Allah, nous te saluions pendant la prière et tu nous répondais. » Il a répondu : « La prière exige toute l’attention. »Grades given by scholars
