What is the interpretation of the verse: "Have you seen the one who forbids a servant when he prays," knowing that prayer was not obligatory at that time?

Prayer was legislated before the Isra and Mi'raj. This has been established by texts from Surat Al-Alaq and Surat Al-Muzzammil, as well as Prophetic hadiths that mention the Prophet's prayer in Mecca and Abu Jahl's reprimand of him, and what was revealed in the Holy Quran regarding this.
