Narrated Barza Al-Aslamî
"During one of the holy battles I was offering (prayer) and the reins of my animal were in my hands and the animal was struggling and I was following the animal. [A man (from the Khawârij) asked me about it. And when I (Barza) finished my Salât (prayer)] I said: " No doubt, I participated with Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) in six or seven or eight holy battles and saw his leniency, and no doubt, I would rather retain my animal than let it return to its stable, as it would cause me much trouble." [2:302-O.B.]

Narrated Jâbir bin 'Abdullah
Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) sent me for some job and when I had finished it I returned and came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and greeted him but he did not return my greeting. So I felt so sorry that only Allâh knows it and I said to myself, 'Perhaps Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) is angry because I did not come quickly, 'then again I greeted him but he did not reply. I felt even more sorry than I did the first time. Again I greeted him and he returned the greeting and said, The thing which prevented me from returning the greeting was that I was offering the (prayer). And at that time he was on his (mount) and his face was not towards the Qiblah. [2:308-0.B.]
