Hadith 1938
عَنْ جَابِرٍ (بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ) رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَرْسَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مُنْطَلِقٌ إِلَى بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ فَكَلَّمْتُهُ فَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ هَٰكَذَا، ثُمَّ كَلَّمْتُهُ فَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا، وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُهُ يَقْرَأُ وَيُومِئُ بِرَأْسِهِ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ: ((مَا فَعَلْتَ فِي الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتُكَ؟ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي إِلَّا أَنِّي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي)) (زَادَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ) وَهُوَ مُوَجَّهٌ حِينَئِذٍ إِلَى الْمَشْرِقِ
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me (for some task), while he himself was going towards Banu Mustaliq. When I returned to him, he was praying on his camel. I spoke to him in that state, but he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his hand. I tried to speak again, but he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his hand again, while I was hearing him reciting and gesturing with his head. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) finished, he said: What happened to the task for which I sent you? The only thing that prevented me from speaking was that I was praying. At that time, he (peace and blessings be upon him) was facing towards the east.
Hadith 1939
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ فَجَعَلَ يَهْوِي بِيَدِهِ قَالَ خَلَفٌ يَهْوِي فِي الصَّلَاةِ قُدَّامَهُ، فَسَأَلَهُ الْقَوْمُ حِينَ انْصَرَفَ، فَقَالَ: ((إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ هُوَ كَانَ يُلْقِي عَلَيَّ شَرَرَ النَّارِ لِيَفْتِنَنِي عَنْ صَلَاةٍ، فَتَنَاوَلْتُهُ فَلَوْ أَخَذْتُهُ مَا انْفَلَتَ مِنِّي حَتَّى يُنَاطَ إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وِلْدَانُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ))
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Fajr prayer, (the combined meaning of the words of both narrators, Abdur Razzaq and Khalaf, is that) during the prayer, he began to lower his hand in front of himself or began to bend himself. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished, the people asked about this action. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, Satan was throwing sparks of fire at me to cause me trouble in my prayer, so I thought of catching him, and if I had caught him, he would not have escaped from me, and he would have been tied to one of the pillars of the mosque, and the children of Madinah would have looked at him.
Hadith 1940
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَضِيَ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَرَرْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَسَلَّمْتُ فَرَدَّ إِلَيَّ إِشَارَةً وَقَالَ لَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِشَارَةً بِإِصْبَعِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that a companion of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) named Suhaib said: I passed by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was praying. I greeted him with salam, so he responded to me by gesturing. The narrator says: I do not know except this, that he mentioned gesturing with the finger.
Hadith 1941
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِبِلَالٍ: كَيْفَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ حِينَ كَانُوا يُسَلِّمُونَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟ قَالَ: كَانَ يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I asked Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) that when people used to send salutations upon the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during prayer, how did you reply? He said: He used to gesture with his hand.
Hadith 1942
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُشِيرُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ

It is narrated from Yazid bin Kaisan, he says: I sought permission from Salim bin Abu Ja’d while he was praying, he replied to me by saying “Subhan Allah.” Then when he finished the prayer with salam, he said: When a man is praying, his way of granting permission is to say “Subhan Allah,” and for a woman, it is to clap.
Hadith 1944
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنْتُ آتِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَسْتَأْذِنُ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي صَلَاةٍ سَبَّحَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي غَيْرِ صَلَاةٍ أَذِنَ لِي
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I used to come to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So when I would ask permission and he was in prayer, he would say "Subhan Allah," and if he was not in prayer, he would grant me permission.
Hadith 1945
عَنْ جَابِرِ (بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ) قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((إِذَا أَنْسَانِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ شَيْئًا مِنْ صَلَاتِي فَلْيُسَبِّحِ الرِّجَالُ وَلْيُصَفِّقِ النِّسَاءُ))
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When Satan makes me forget something in prayer, men should say Subhan Allah and women should clap.
Hadith 1946
عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَنْ نَابَهُ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيَقُلْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّمَا التَّصْفِيقُ لِلنِّسَاءِ وَالتَّسْبِيحُ لِلرِّجَالِ))
Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If anyone faces a need during prayer, he should say Subhan Allah. Clapping is for women, and saying Subhan Allah is for men.
