If you mean he was doing something in a hurry, we'd say "He was hustling."

Thank you for your reply.
I understood that I can not use "in a hustle" but to use "hustle" as you advised.

That's right. You cannot use "hustle" the same way as you would "hurry,," as in, "He was in a hurry." You have to format the sentence as, "He was hustling."
