حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ ابْنِ الْقِبْطِيَّةِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ: كُنَّا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَشَارَ أَحَدُنَا إِلَى أَخِيهِ مِنْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَمِنْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " مَا بَالُ أَحَدِكُمْ يَفْعَلُ هَذَا كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ خَيْلٍ شُمْسٍ، إِنَّمَا يَكْفِي أَحَدَكُمْ (١) أَنْ يَقُولَ هَكَذَا، وَوَضَعَ يَمِينَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ، وَأَشَارَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ، ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَى أَخِيهِ مِنْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَمِنْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ " (٢)، ،

English translation
It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that when we used to pray behind the Prophet (ﷺ), we would gesture with our hands while turning for salam to the right and left. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "What is the matter with people that they gesture with their hands like the tails of difficult horses? Can you not remain calm and gesture by placing your hand on your thigh, and offer salam to your companion on the right and left?"
