Sunan an-Nasai 1219 (Book 13, Hadith 41) #15827
The Commandment of Silence During Prayer

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that speaking during prayer was allowed until a verse in the Quran was revealed, which commanded people to remain silent during prayer.

It was narrated that Zaid bin Arqam said: "We used to speak to each other during the prayer, saying whatever was necessary, at the time of the Messenger of Allah , until this verse was revealed: Guard strictly (five obligatory) As-Salawat (the prayers) especially the middle Salah (ie the best prayer- 'Asr). And stand before Allah with obedience (and do not speak to others during the Salah (prayers)), so we were commanded to be silent".
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَارِثُ بْنُ شُبَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، قَالَ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُكَلِّمُ صَاحِبَهُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ بِالْحَاجَةِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ‏{‏ حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلاَةِ الْوُسْطَى وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ ‏}‏ فَأُمِرْنَا بِالسُّكُوتِ

Follow Allah's commands with sincerity and devotion
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of remaining silent during prayer. It is narrated by Zaid bin Arqam that before the revelation of a verse in the Quran, people used to speak to each other during their prayers as long as it was necessary. However, after this verse was revealed, they were commanded to be silent and guard strictly their five obligatory prayers especially the middle Salah or 'Asr prayer. This hadith emphasizes on obedience and respect for Allah's commands and shows how important it is for Muslims to follow them even if they don't understand why at first. It also teaches us that we should not take our religious duties lightly but rather strive to perform them with utmost sincerity and devotion.
