Sunan an-Nasai 1190 (Book 13, Hadith 12) #15798
Respect for Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of prayer and how it should be respected even when one is busy with other tasks.

It was narrated that Jabir said: "The Messenger of Allah sent me on an errand, then I came back to him while he was facing the east or the west. I greeted him with salam and he gestured to me. Then when he finished he called me and said: "O Jabir!" So I came and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I greeted you with Salam but you did not answer". He said: 'I was praying'.
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ الْبَعْلَبَكِّيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ شَابُورٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ بَعَثَنِي النَّبِيُّ فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ يَسِيرُ مُشَرِّقًا أَوْ مُغَرِّبًا فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ فَانْصَرَفْتُ فَنَادَانِي ‏"‏ يَا جَابِرُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَنَادَانِي النَّاسُ يَا جَابِرُ ‏.‏ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْكَ فَلَمْ تَرُدَّ عَلَىَّ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of prayer in Islam and how it should be respected even when one is busy with other tasks. It was narrated by Jabir ibn Abdullah that the Prophet Muhammad sent him on an errand and when he returned, he found the Prophet praying. When Jabir greeted him with salam, he gestured to him without responding as he was in prayer. After finishing his prayer, the Prophet called out to Jabir and explained why he did not respond earlier. This shows us that we must always respect prayer no matter what we are doing or where we are at any given time. We must also remember that our prayers are a form of communication between us and Allah so they should never be taken lightly or neglected in any way.
