Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us, he said: Waki' narrated to us, from Mis'ar. And Abu Kurayb narrated to us—and the wording is his—he said: Ibn Abi Za'idah informed us, from Mis'ar: 'Ubaydullah ibn al-Qibtiyyah narrated to me, from Jabir ibn Samurah, who said: When we prayed with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, we would say, "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah, peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah," and gesture with his hand to the two sides. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Why do you gesture with your hands as if they were the tails of restive horses? It is sufficient for one of you to place his hand on his thigh, then greet his brother to his right and to his left."
