Sunan Abi Dawud 779 (Book 2, Hadith 389) #21070
Periods of Silence in Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a discussion between Samurah ibn Jundub and Imran ibn Husayn regarding the periods of silence in prayer. Samurah remembered two periods of silence from the Messenger of Allah, which was confirmed by Ubayy ibn Ka'b.

Narrated Samurah ibn Jundub; Ubayy ibn Ka'b: Samurah ibn Jundub and Imran ibn Husayn had a discussion (about the periods of silence in prayer). Samurah then said that he remembered two periods of silence from the Messenger of Allah ; one when he uttered the takbir and the other when he finished reciting: "Not of those with whom Thou art angry, nor of those who go astray" (i.7). Samurah remembered that, but Imran ibn Husayn rejected it. Then they wrote about it to Ubayy ibn Ka'b. He wrote a letter to them and gave a reply to them that Samurah remembered correctly.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، أَنَّ سَمُرَةَ بْنَ جُنْدُبٍ، وَعِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ، تَذَاكَرَا فَحَدَّثَ سَمُرَةُ بْنُ جُنْدُبٍ، أَنَّهُ حَفِظَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ سَكْتَتَيْنِ سَكْتَةً إِذَا كَبَّرَ وَسَكْتَةً إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ ‏{‏ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ ‏}‏ فَحَفِظَ ذَلِكَ سَمُرَةُ وَأَنْكَرَ عَلَيْهِ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ فَكَتَبَا فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَكَانَ فِي كِتَابِهِ إِلَيْهِمَا أَوْ فِي رَدِّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا أَنَّ سَمُرَةَ قَدْ حَفِظَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of observing silence during prayer. It was narrated by Samurah Ibn Jundub and Imran Ibn Husayn who were discussing the periods of silence in prayer when they remembered two such moments from Prophet Muhammad's prayers; one when he uttered the takbir and another when he finished reciting a verse from Surat Al-Fatiha. They wrote to Ubayy Ibn Ka'b for confirmation who replied that what they remembered was correct. This hadith teaches us that we should observe complete concentration while praying and not let our minds wander away or engage in idle talk during this time as it can be disrespectful to God Almighty. We should also strive to recite verses with full attention so that we can benefit spiritually from them as well as attain peace within ourselves through prayer.
