Sunan Abi Dawud 928 (Book 2, Hadith 539) #21220
The Loss of Prayer and Salutation

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that there is no loss in prayer or salutation, and that the only loss a man can experience in his prayer is when he remains doubtful about it after finishing it.

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet as saying: There is no loss in prayer nor in salutation. Ahmad(b. Hanbal) said: This means, I think, that you do not salute nor you are saluted by others. The loss of a man in his prayer is that a man remains doubtful about it when he finishes it.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الأَشْجَعِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ غِرَارَ فِي صَلاَةٍ وَلاَ تَسْلِيمٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَحْمَدُ يَعْنِي فِيمَا أُرَى أَنْ لاَ تُسَلِّمَ وَلاَ يُسَلَّمَ عَلَيْكَ وَيُغَرِّرُ الرَّجُلُ بِصَلاَتِهِ فَيَنْصَرِفُ وَهُوَ فِيهَا شَاكٌّ
