English narration
Narrated by عبد الله بن عمر العدوي
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to Quba to offer prayer. Then the Ansar (the Helpers) came to him and gave him a salutation while he was engaged in prayer. I asked Bilal: How did you find the Messenger of Allah ﷺ responding to them when they gave him a salutation while he was engaged in prayer. He replied: In this way, and Jafar ibn Awn demonstrated by spreading his palm, and keeping its inner side below and its back side above.
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ الدَّامِغَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعٌ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ، يَقُولُ : خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى قُبَاءَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ ، قَالَ : فَجَاءَتْهُ الْأَنْصَارُ ، فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ لِبِلَالٍ : كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ حِينَ كَانُوا يُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي ؟ قَالَ : "
يَقُولُ هَكَذَا : وَبَسَطَ كَفَّهُ ، وَبَسَطَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ كَفَّهُ ، وَجَعَلَ بَطْنَهُ أَسْفَلَ ، وَجَعَلَ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى فَوْقٍ
