Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I passed by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying. I greeted him (peace and blessings be upon him) with salam, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) replied to me with a gesture."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), except Muhammad bin Sirin; and from Ibn Sirin only Hisham narrated it; and from Hisham only Ibn Raja'. Abu Ya'la al-Tawwazi is alone in it."
