أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ
جَابِرٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، بَعَثَنِي لِحَاجَةٍ ، ثُمَّ أَدْرَكْتُهُ وَهُوَ يَسِيرُ ، قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ : يُصَلِّي ، فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيَّ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ ، دَعَانِي ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّكَ سَلَّمْتَ آنِفًا وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي ، وَهُوَ مُوَجِّهٌ حِينَئِذٍ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ " .
Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent me on an errand. I (having done the business assigned to me came back and) joined him as he was going (on a ride). Qutaiba said that he was saying prayer while he rode. I greeted him. He gestured to me. When he completed the prayer. he called me and said: You greeted me just now while I was engaged in prayer. (Qutaiba said): His (Prophet's face) was towards the east, as he was praying.
