حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عِيسَی الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ الدَّامِغَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَی قُبَائَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ قَالَ فَجَائَتْهُ الْأَنْصَارُ فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لِبِلَالٍ کَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ حِينَ کَانُوا يُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي قَالَ يَقُولُ هَکَذَا وَبَسَطَ کَفَّهُ وَبَسَطَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ کَفَّهُ وَجَعَلَ بَطْنَهُ أَسْفَلَ وَجَعَلَ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَی فَوْقٍ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 927
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.
