English narration
Narrated by جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري
Jabir said: The prophet of Allah ﷺ sent me to Banu al-Mustaliq. When I returned to him, he was praying on his camel. I talked to him; he made a sign to me with his hand like this. I again talked to him; he made a sign to me with his hand like this. I was hearing him reciting the Quran and he was making a sign with his head. When he finished his prayer, he said; what did you do about the mission for which I had sent you; nothing prevented me from talking to you except that I was praying.
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : أَرْسَلَنِي نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى بَنِى الْمُصْطَلَقِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ "
يُصَلِّي عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ ، فَكَلَّمْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ لِي بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا ، ثُمَّ كَلَّمْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ لِي بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا ، وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُهُ يَقْرَأُ وَيُومِئُ بِرَأْسِهِ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ ، قَالَ : مَا فَعَلْتَ فِي الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتُكَ ؟ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أُكَلِّمَكَ إِلَّا أَنِّي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي
