Sunan an-Nasa'i 1326

Ahmad ibn Sulayman informed us; he said: ‘Ubaydullah ibn Musa narrated to us; he said: Isra’il narrated to us, from Furat al-Qazzaz, from ‘Ubaydullah—namely, Ibn al-Qibtiyyah—from Jabir ibn Samurah, who said: I prayed with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When we said the salutation, we would gesture with our hands, saying, “Peace be upon you, peace be upon you.” He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at us and said, “Why are you gesturing with your hands as if they were the tails of unruly horses? When one of you says the salutation, let him turn toward his companion and not gesture with his hand.”
