Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا شَرِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يَتَنَفَّسْ فِي الْإِنَاءِ وَإِذَا أَتَى الْخَلَاءَ فَلَا يَمَسَّ ذَكَرَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ وَإِذَا تَمَسَّحَ فَلَا يَتَمَسَّحَنَّ بِيَمِينِهِ.
English Translation
'Affan narrated to us, Abu 'Awanah narrated to us, from Mansur, from Ibrahim, from 'Alqamah, from 'Abdullah, who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to return our greetings in prayer. When we returned from the Negus, we greeted him and he did not return our greeting. We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you used to return our greeting in prayer.' He said: 'Indeed, in the prayer there is (enough) occupation.'
