| SahihMuslim-017-001-24199 | | Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me on an errand while he was going to Banu Mustaliq. I came to him and he was engaged in prayer on the back of his camel. I talked to him and he gestured to me With his hand; and Zuhair gestured with his hand. I then again talked and he again gestured to me with his hand. Zuhair pointed with his hand towards the ground. I heard him the Holy Prophet reciting the Quran and making a sign with his head. When he com- pleted the prayer he said: What have you done with regard to that business for which I sent you? I could not talk with you but for the fact that I was engaged in prayer. Zuhair told that Abu AlZubair was sitting with his face turned towards Qibla as he transmitted this hadith. Abu Zuhair pointed towards Banu Mustaliq with his hand and the direction to which he pointed with his hand was not towards the Kaba. | The Chapter on Hand Gestures Pointing in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on 7 in Sahih Muslim |
