Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنِي رُكَيْنٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ حَسَّانَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَكْرَهُ عَشْرًا الصُّفْرَةَ وَتَغْيِيرَ الشَّيْبِ وَجَرَّ الْإِزَارِ وَخَاتَمَ الذَّهَبِ أَوْ قَالَ حَلْقَةَ الذَّهَبِ وَالضَّرْبَ بِالْكِعَابِ وَالتَّبَرُّجَ بِالزِّينَةِ فِي غَيْرِ مَحِلِّهَا وَالرُّقَى إِلَّا بِالْمُعَوِّذَاتِ وَالتَّمَائِمَ وَعَزْلَ الْمَاءِ وَإِفْسَادَ الصَّبِيِّ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُحَرِّمَهُ.
English Translation
Abdullah said: 'We used to greet the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) while he was in prayer and he would respond. When we came back from the Negus (in Abyssinia) we greeted him and he did not respond to us. I said: O Messenger of Allah, we used to greet you in prayer and you would respond. He said: Indeed, in prayer there is an engagement (that prevents speaking).'
