Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْمَكِّيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَسْجِدَ قُبَاءَ لِيُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رِجَالٌ يُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيْهِ فَسَأَلْتُ صُهَيْبًا وَكَانَ مَعَهُ كَيْفَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَصْنَعُ إِذَا سُلِّمَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ كَانَ يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Mansur al-Makki reported to us, saying: Sufyan reported to us, from Zayd ibn Aslam, who said: Ibn ‘Umar said: The Prophet (ﷺ) entered the mosque of Quba to pray there. Some men came in and greeted him. I asked Suhayb, who was with him, “What would the Prophet (ﷺ) do when someone greeted him?” He said, “He would gesture with his hand.”
