Sunan Ibn Majah 1019

Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَقِيلَ لَنَا إِنَّ فِي الصَّلاَةِ لَشُغْلاً ‏.‏

Translation

Ahmad ibn Said al-Darimi narrated to us: Al-Nadr ibn Shumayl narrated to us: Yunus ibn Abi Ishaq narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu al-Ahwas, from Abdullah, who said: We used to greet one another during the prayer, but we were told, “Prayer has its own occupation.”
