Chapter 48
Remembrance 1 from Chapter 48
What to say to a person who speaks to one whilst one is engaged in ṣalāh
Context
WE RELATE FROM the Ṣaḥīḥs of al-Bukhārī and Muslim, from Sahl ibn Sa‘d as-Sa‘dī 
, that the Messenger of Allah 
said: “If anyone is disturbed by something in his ṣalāh, he should say: Glory be to Allah.” According to an authentic report, he also said: “If anything occurs to any one of you [in ṣalāh], let the men glorify Allah and let the women clap their hands.” According to another report: “Saying Subḥāna-llāh is for men and clapping the hands is for women.” [1].
