Sunan an-Nasai 1221 (Book 13, Hadith 43) #15829
The Importance of Silence During Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) taught that one should not speak during prayer, and Allah (SWT) decrees what He wills.

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ud said: "We used to greet the Prophet with salam and he would return our salam, until we came back from the land of Ethiopia. I greeted him with salam and he did not return my greeting,a nd I started to wonder why. So I sat down; and when he finished praying, he said: 'Allah (SWT) decrees what He wills, and He has decreed what we should not speak during the prayer'."
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ 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

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of silence during prayer. It was narrated by Ibn Mas'ud that he and his companions used to greet the Prophet Muhammad with salam, and he would return their salam until they returned from Ethiopia. When Ibn Mas'ud greeted him with salam, the Prophet did not return his greeting; instead, he said “Allah decrees what He wills, and He has decreed what we should not speak during the prayer”. This hadith teaches us that we must be silent when praying to Allah; it is a sign of respect for Him as well as an act of obedience to His will. We must remember that whatever Allah has decreed is for our own good; therefore, it is important to follow His commands in order to receive His blessings in this life and in the hereafter.
