Respond to salutations with kindness & respect even while praying

This hadith narrates an incident when the Prophet Muhammad PBUH was offering his prayers at Quba and the Ansar, or Helpers, greeted him. His companion Bilal asked how he responded and Ja'far ibn Awn demonstrated by spreading his palm with its inner side below and its back side above. This gesture is known as Taslim, which is a form of greeting in Islam that involves saying 'Assalamu Alaikum' or 'Peace be upon you'. It teaches us that even when we are engaged in prayer, we should still respond to salutations with kindness and respect. We should also remember that our actions speak louder than words; sometimes a simple gesture can be more meaningful than words alone.
