We used to greet the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was offering As-Salât (the prayer) and he used to answer our greetings. When we returned from An-Najâshî (the ruler of Ethiopia), we greeted him, but he did not answer us [during the (prayer)] and [after finishing the (prayer)] he said, In-(the prayer) one is occupied (with a more serious matter)." [2:290-O.B.]

In the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) I we used to speak while offering As-Salât (the prayer), and one of us would tell his needs to his companions, till the Verse, 'Guard strictly the (five obligatory) (prayers) especially the middle i.e. the best ('Asr) prayer; and stand before Allah with obedience [and do not speak to others during the Salât (prayers)], '(V.2:238) was revealed. After that we were ordered to remain silent while offering (prayer). [2:292-O.B.]

The Prophet (ﷺ) talked about a man levelling the earth on prostrating, and said, "If you have to do so, then do it once." [2:298-0.B.]

"During one of the holy battles I was offering (prayer) and the reins of my animal were in my hands and the animal was struggling and I was following the animal. [A man (from the Khawârij) asked me about it. And when I (Barza) finished my Salât (prayer)] I said: " No doubt, I participated with Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) in six or seven or eight holy battles and saw his leniency, and no doubt, I would rather retain my animal than let it return to its stable, as it would cause me much trouble." [2:302-O.B.]

'Aisha narrated the Hadith of eclipse (No. 562) and added in this quotation that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "No doubt, I saw Hell (with its different parts) destroying each other, and I saw in it Amr bin who started the tradition of As-Sawaïb (she-camels let loose for free pastures in the name of idols and other false deities)." [2:303-O.B.]

Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) sent me for some job and when I had finished it I returned and came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and greeted him but he did not return my greeting. So I felt so sorry that only Allâh knows it and I said to myself, 'Perhaps Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) is angry because I did not come quickly, 'then again I greeted him but he did not reply. I felt even more sorry than I did the first time. Again I greeted him and he returned the greeting and said, The thing which prevented me from returning the greeting was that I was offering the (prayer). And at that time he was on his (mount) and his face was not towards the Qiblah. [2:308-0.B.]
