ONE HADITH A DAY
Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim · Authentic hadith
عن زَيْد بن أَرْقَمَ رضي الله عنه قال: «كُنّا نتكلم في الصلاة، يُكَلِّمُ الرجل صاحبه، وهو إلى جنبه في الصلاة، حتى نزلت ((وقوموا لله قانتين))؛ فَأُمِرْنَا بالسكوت ونُهِينَا عن الكلام».
“Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We used to speak during the prayer; a man would talk with his companion at his side in the prayer until [this verse] was revealed: {...And stand before Allah in devout obedience} [Sūrat al-Baqarah: 238]. So we were commanded to keep silent, such that we were forbidden to talk [to each other during prayer].”
