English Translation
Zayd ibn Arqam said: During the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), we used to talk during prayer — a man would speak to his companion about a matter between them — until the verse was revealed: "Guard strictly your prayers, and the middle prayer, and stand before Allah in devotion" (2:238). Then we were commanded to be silent at that point.
