There is no god but Allah, O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad. Yes. O Muhammad. I.
The questioner:

The Shaykh:
It is not befitting to greet the one who is reciting the Qur'an, because he is occupied and in worship. Reciting the Qur'an is worship, so do not interrupt his recitation of the Qur'an.
