Responding to Greetings During Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (S) was performing Salat when Suhaib greeted him with Salam, and the Prophet (S) responded by making a gesture with his finger.

Suhaib narrated: "I passed by Allah's Messenger (S) while he was performing Salat, so I said greeted him with Salam, and he returned it by making signals". He said: "I do not know except that he said: 'He indicated with his finger'."
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَشَجِّ، عَنْ نَابِلٍ، صَاحِبِ الْعَبَاءِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ، قَالَ مَرَرْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ إِلَىَّ إِشَارَةً ‏.‏ وَقَالَ لاَ أَعْلَمُ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِشَارَةً بِإِصْبَعِهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ بِلاَلٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَنَسٍ وَعَائِشَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about responding to greetings during prayer. It is narrated that Suhaib passed by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ while he was performing salah and greeted him with salam, but the Prophet ﷺ did not respond verbally. Instead, he made a gesture with his finger as if to say “I acknowledge your greeting” without interrupting his prayer. This teaches us that we should be mindful of our actions in prayer and not let anything distract us from worshipping Allah SWT. We should also be respectful of others who are praying and not disturb them or expect them to respond when they are in the middle of their worship.
