Sunan Abi Dawud 923 (Book 2, Hadith 534) #21215
Focusing on Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of focusing on prayer and not being distracted by other things.

'Abd Allah(b. Mas’ud) said: We used to salute the Messenger of Allah while he was engaged in prayer and he would respond to our salutation, but when we returned from the Negash, we saluted him and he did not respond to us. He said : Prayer demands one’s whole attention.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّجَاشِيِّ سَلَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْنَا وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ فِي الصَّلاَةِ لَشُغْلاً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of focusing on prayer and not being distracted by other things. It was narrated by 'Abd Allah b. Masud who said that when they used to greet the Prophet Muhammad while he was praying, he would respond to their salutations but when they returned from the Negash, he did not respond to them because prayer demands one's full attention. This hadith teaches us that we should be focused and attentive during our prayers so that we can get the most out of it and benefit from it spiritually. We should also avoid any distractions or conversations while praying as this will take away from our concentration and focus on God's words in prayer.
