[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me on an errand, so I returned to him while he was on his riding animal. I greeted him, but he did not respond to me. I saw him bowing and prostrating, so I backed away from him. Then he asked me, "What did you do regarding your need?" I replied, "I did such and such." He said to me, "Verily, the only reason why I did not respond to you is because I was in prayer."  

بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حَاجَةٍ لَهُ فَرَجَعْتُإِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ وَرَأَيْتُهُ يَرْكَعُ وَيَسْجُدُ فَتَنَحَّيْتُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي مَا صَنَعْتَ فِي حَاجَتِكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ صَنَعْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أَرُدَّ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا أَنِّي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ sent me on an errand. When I returned, I greeted him, but he did not respond. When he finished, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I greeted you but you did not respond." He said, "I was praying while facing a direction other than the qiblah."  

بَعَثَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي حَاجَةٍ فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْكَ فَلَمْ تَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ؟ قَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي وَهُوَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ مُتَوَجِّهًا لِغَيْرِ الْقِبْلَةِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ sent him on an errand, so he came while the Prophet ﷺ was praying and greeted him, but he did not respond to him and signaled with his hand. When he finished the prayer, he said, "It was not a hindrance for me to respond to you except that I was praying."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى حَاجَةٍ لَهُ فَجَاءَ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ وَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أَرُدَّ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا أَنِّي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي
