قَالَ وَكَانَتْ لِي غَنَمٌ فِيهَا جَارِيَةٌ لِي تَرْعَاهَا فِي قِبَلِ أُحُدٍ والْجَوَّانِيَّةِ فَاطَّلَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَوَجَدْتُ الذِّئْبَ قَدْ ذَهَبَ مِنْهَا بِشَاةٍ فَأَسِفْتُ وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ آسَفُ مِثْلَ مَا يَأْسَفُونَ وَإِنِّي صَكَكْتُهَا صَكَّةً قَالَ فَعَظُمَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا أُعْتِقُهَا قَالَ ادْعُهَا فَدَعَوْتُهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا أَيْنَ اللَّهُ قَالَتْ فِي السَّمَاءِ قَالَ مَنْ أَنَا قَالَتْ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ فَأَعْتِقْهَا قَالَ هَذَانِ حَدِيثَانِ
English Translation
It was narrated from Mu'awiyah ibn al-Hakam al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) that Mu'awiyah ibn al-Hakam al-Sulami said: 'While I was praying with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a man sneezed and I said: "May Allah have mercy on you." The people stared at me. When they kept silent, I remained quiet. After the prayer, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Talking is not appropriate during prayer — it consists of glorification (tasbih), takbir, and recitation of the Quran."'
