Greet others politely ; Respect those who are worshipping God ; Obey Allah's commandments .

This hadith highlights the importance of respecting prayer and not interrupting someone who is in prayer. It was narrated by Jabir that the Prophet Muhammad sent him on an errand and when he returned he found the Prophet praying. He greeted him with salam but instead of responding to his greeting, the Prophet gestured to him to wait until he finished his prayer. After finishing his prayer, he called Jabir and said “You greeted me with Salam just now and I was praying” showing that even though it was a polite gesture from Jabir to greet him with salam while he was in prayer, it should have been avoided as it could be seen as disrespectful towards Allah’s commandment to pray without interruption or distraction. This hadith teaches us that we should always respect people who are in prayer by not disturbing them or distracting them from their worship of Allah SWT.
