Sunan an-Nasa'i 1221
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا السَّلاَمَ حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا مِنْ أَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَىَّ فَأَخَذَنِي مَا قَرُبَ وَمَا بَعُدَ فَجَلَسْتُ حَتَّى إِذَا قَضَى الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُحْدِثُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَا يَشَاءُ وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَحْدَثَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ أَنْ لاَ يُتَكَلَّمَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ " .
Al-Husayn ibn Hurayth reported to us; he said: Sufyan reported to us, from ‘Asim, from Abu Wa’il, from Ibn Mas‘ud, who said: We used to greet the Prophet (ﷺ) with salam, and he would return our greeting, until we came back from the land of Abyssinia. I greeted him, but he did not return my greeting. I was overcome with concern, so I sat down. When he had finished praying, he said: “Allah brings about whatever He wills of His command, and among what He has brought about is that no one is to speak during prayer.”
