Chapter: Returning the salams with a gesture when praying
Hadith 1191
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ الْبَعْلَبَكِّيُّ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ شَابُورَ , عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ , قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ , عَنْ جَابِرٍ , قَالَ : بَعَثَنِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ يَسِيرُ مُشَرِّقًا أَوْ مُغَرِّبًا , فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ , ثُمَّ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ , فَانْصَرَفْتُ فَنَادَانِي : يَا جَابِرُ , فَنَادَانِي النَّاسُ : يَا جَابِرُ , فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ : إِنِّي سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْكَ فَلَمْ تَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ , قَالَ : " إِنِّي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي " .
´It was narrated that Jabir said:` "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent me on an errand, then I came back to him while he was facing the east or the west. I greeted him with salam and he gestured to me. Then when he finished he called me and said: "O Jabir!" So I came and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I greeted you with Salam but you did not answer." He said: 'I was praying.'
