Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended

وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمُصَلِّي فَقَالَ« إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ أَنْتَ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ فَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ فِيمَا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ نَفْسِكَ وَ لاَ تَرْفَعْ صَوْتَكَ»
And with this same chain of narration, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a person who is praying. Imam عليه السلام said: "If a man from among the Muslims greets you with salam while you are in prayer, then return the greeting to him within yourself without raising your voice."
