Question:
And in this session, you ask Shaykh Salih about words you hear from people: is it a hadith or not? "Whoever makes a person praying laugh has made him weep"?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise is to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions. As for this hadith, I am not aware of any basis for it. However, it is not permissible to disturb a person praying, because he is engaged in worship. Therefore, it is not permissible to disturb him by talking or raising one's voice near him, even by reciting. Reciting the Qur'an, no one is allowed to raise his voice near someone who is praying, because it disturbs him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once came out to his Companions while they were performing the late-night prayer and raising their voices in recitation, and he said (peace and blessings be upon him): "Each of you isAs-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 14:26." Likewise, passing in front of him is forbidden, strictly forbidden. Passing between him and his sutrah, meaning passing close to him if he does not have a sutrah, all of these are matters that disturb the prayer of the one praying. Yes.
