حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَوَكِيعٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ابْنِ الْقِبْطِيَّةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَلَّمَ أَحَدُنَا أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ مِنْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا صَلَّى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا بَالُ أَحَدِكُمْ يُرْمِي بِيَدِهِ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ خَيْلٍ شُمْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّمَا يَكْفِي أَحَدَكُمْ أَوْ أَلَا يَكْفِي أَحَدَكُمْ أَنْ يَقُولَ هَكَذَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَشَارَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَى أَخِيهِ مِنْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَمِنْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ.

Urdu Translation

جابر بن سمرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں   جب ہم رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے پیچھے نماز پڑھتے تھے تو ہم میں سے کوئی سلام پھیرتا تو اپنے ہاتھ سے اپنے دائیں اور بائیں اشارے کرتا، جب آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نماز سے فارغ ہوئے تو فرمایا: تم لوگوں کا کیا حال ہے کہ تم میں سے کوئی ( نماز میں ) اپنے ہاتھ سے اشارے کرتا ہے، گویا اس کا ہاتھ شریر گھوڑے کی دم ہے، تم میں سے ہر ایک کو بس اتنا کافی ہے ( یا یہ کہا: کیا تم میں سے ہر ایک کو اس طرح کرنا کافی نہیں؟ ) ، اور آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اپنی انگلی سے اشارہ کیا کہ دائیں اور بائیں طرف کے اپنے بھائی کو سلام کرے۔

English Translation

Jabir bin Samurah said: When we prayed behind the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, one of us gave the salutation and pointed with his hand to the man to his right side and left side. When he finished his prayer, he said: What is the matter that one of you points with his hand (during prayer) just like the tails of restive horses. It is sufficient for one of you, or is it not sufficient for one of you to say in this manner? And he pointed with his finger; one should salute his brother at his right and left side.
