حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا، وَوَكِيعٌ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ابْنِ الْقِبْطِيَّةِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ كُنَّا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَسَلَّمَ أَحَدُنَا أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ مِنْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَمِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى قَالَ ‏"‏ مَا بَالُ أَحَدِكُمْ يَرْمِي بِيَدِهِ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ خَيْلٍ شُمْسٍ إِنَّمَا يَكْفِي أَحَدَكُمْ - أَوْ أَلاَ يَكْفِي أَحَدَكُمْ - أَنْ يَقُولَ هَكَذَا ‏"‏ . وَأَشَارَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ ‏"‏ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَى أَخِيهِ مَنْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَمَنْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ ‏"‏ .

English translation
Jabir b. Samurah said: When we prayed behind the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ), one of us gave the salutation and pointed with his hand to the man to his right side and left side. When he finished his prayer, he said: What is the matter that one of you points with his hand (during prayer) just like the tails of restive horses. It is sufficient for one of you, or is it not sufficient for one of you to say in this manner? And he pointed with his finger; one should salute his brother at his right and left side
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। জাবির ইবনু সামুরাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর পিছনে সালাত আদায়কালে আমাদের কেউ সালাম ফিরাতো এবং হাত দ্বারা তার ডানে ও বামে ইশারা করতো। সালাত শেষে তিনি বললেনঃ তোমাদের কোন এক ব্যক্তির কি হলো যে, সে সালাম ফিরাতে এরূপে হাতের ইশারা করে, যেন তা দুষ্ট ঘোড়ার লেজ। এটাই তোমাদের প্রত্যেকের জন্য যথেষ্ট অথবা এটাই কি তোমাদের প্রত্যেকের জন্য যথেষ্ট নয় যে, সে তার ডান ও বাম দিকের ভাইকে এভাবে সালাম বলবে। তিনি আঙ্গুল দ্বারা ইশারা করে দেখালেন। সহীহ : মুসলিম।
