[Machine] "If the Imam says salam and someone has a need, he should not wait for the Imam to receive him with his face, for the dividing point of the prayer is the salutation." So, when Abdullah says salam, he does not wait for long before he stands up or turns from his place and receives them with his face.  

الطبراني:٩٣٣٩حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ الْأَزْدِيُّ ثنا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ثنا زُهَيْرٌ ثنا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

«إِذَا سَلَّمَ الْإِمَامُ وَلِلرَّجُلِ حَاجَةٌ فَلَا يَنْتَظِرْهُ إِذَا سَلَّمَ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَهُ بِوَجْهِهِ فَإِنَّ فَصْلَ الصَّلَاةِ التَّسْلِيمُ» فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ إِذَا سَلَّمَ لَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ يَقُومَ أَوْ يَتَحَوَّلَ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ وَيَسْتَقْبِلُهُمْ بِوَجْهِهِ
