Praying in front of someone who does not pray

Question
Do you dislike praying in front of someone who does not pray?
Answer
Do not hate praying in the presence of someone who does not pray, even if he is talking; for Nafi' said: "Ibn Umar used to say: If I do not find a way to a pillar of the mosque, he would say: Let me lean on your back." This is found in Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 1: 250. See also: Majma' al-Anhar 1: 121.
