Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ نَابِلٍ، صَاحِبِ الْعَبَاءِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ، صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ مَرَرْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَىَّ إِشَارَةً وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ .
Translation
Qutaybah ibn Sa‘id reported to us, saying: al-Layth reported to us, from Bukayr, from Nabil, the man with the cloak, from Ibn ‘Umar, from Suhayb, a Companion of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), who said: I passed by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) while he was praying and greeted him. He returned my greeting with a gesture; as far as I know, he gestured with his finger.
