Hadith 4568

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ " دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَسْجِدَ بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، مَسْجِدَ قُبَاءَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ ، فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ رِجَالُ الْأَنْصَارِ يُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيْهِ ، وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُ صُهَيْبٌ ، فَسَأَلْتُ صُهَيْبًا : كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصْنَعُ إِذَا سُلِّمَ عَلَيْهِ ؟ قَالَ : يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ : قُلْتُ لِرَجُلٍ : سَلْ زَيْدًا : أَسَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ؟ وَهِبْتُ أَنَا أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا أُسَامَةَ ، سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ؟ قَالَ : أَمَّا أَنَا ، فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فَكَلَّمْتُهُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to the mosque of Banu Amr bin Awf, that is, the Mosque of Quba, to perform prayer. There, some Ansari companions came to greet the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Sayyiduna Suhaib (may Allah be pleased with him) was with them. I asked Sayyiduna Suhaib (may Allah be pleased with him): When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was greeted, how did he reply? He said: He would gesture with his hand. Sufyan says: I said to a man, "Ask Sayyiduna Zaid bin Aslam (may Allah have mercy on him), did you hear this narration directly from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both)?" I was too awed to ask myself, so that man asked him, "O Abu Usamah! Did you hear this narration directly from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both)?" He replied: "I have seen him and have also spoken with him."
