أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ بُکَيْرٍ عَنْ نَابِلٍ صَاحِبِ الْعَبَائِ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَرَرْتُ عَلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ إِشَارَةً وَلَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1191
It was narrated that Suhaib, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “I passed by the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم when he was praying, and greeted him with Salam. He returned my greeting with a gesture, or maybe it was just with his finger.”(Sahih).
