، حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْقَطَّانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ:
كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، فَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا، فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّجَاشِيِّ سَلَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْنَا، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَتَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا، فَقَالَ ﷺ: إِنَّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ لَشُغْلًا

✧ We used to greet the Prophet ﷺ while he was in prayer, and he would respond to us. When we returned from being with the Negus, we greeted him and he did not respond. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, we used to greet you in prayer and you would respond." He ﷺ said, "Indeed in prayer there is occupation."

هذا خطأ إنما يروي الأعمش عن إبراهيم عن عبد الله عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مرسلا لا يقول فيه علقمة
machine translationThis is a mistake. Rather, al-Aʿmash narrates from Ibrāhīm, from ʿAbdullāh, from the Prophet ﷺ, as a mursal report (irsāl), and he does not mention ʿAlqamah in it.
