Sunan Abi Dawud 931 (Book 2, Hadith 542) #21223
Reciting Quran & Making Mention of Allah During Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of reciting the Quran and making mention of Allah during prayer, and how one should not speak during prayer.

Mu’awiyah b. al-Hakam al-Sulami said ; when I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ I learnt many things about islam. One of the things that I was taught was that it was that it was pointed out me. When you sneeze, praise Allah (I,e, say "praise be to Allah"); and when someone sneezes and praises Allah, say " May Allah have mercy on you. Meanwhile I was standing along with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) during prayer, all of a sudden a man sneezed, and he praised Allah. So I said, "may Allah have mercy on you", in a loud voice. The people gave me disapproving looks so much so that I took ill of it. So I said : what do you mean by looking at me with furtive glances. Then they glorified Allah. When the prophet ﷺ finished his prayer, he asked; who was the speaker? The Prophet told him; this Bedouin. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called me and said to me: Prayer is meant for the recitation of the Quran, and making mention of Allah. When you are in it (prayer), this should be your work therein. I never saw an instructor more lenient than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ

Focus on reciting from the Quran and making mention of Allah while praying .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of reciting the Quran and making mention of Allah during prayer. It is important to focus on these two activities while praying as it is a time for worshipping God and connecting with Him through His words in the Holy Book. The Prophet Muhammad was very lenient when it came to teaching people about Islam, as he did not reprimand Muawiyah for speaking out loud during prayer but instead explained why it was wrong in a gentle manner. This teaches us that we should be patient when teaching others about Islam, especially children who may not understand certain concepts right away. We should also strive to focus on our prayers so that we can truly connect with God through His words in the Holy Book.
