حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ح و حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَنِي لِحَاجَةٍ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكْتُهُ وَهُوَ يَسِيرُ قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ يُصَلِّي فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيَّ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ دَعَانِي فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ سَلَّمْتَ آنِفًا وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي وَهُوَ مُوَجِّهٌ حِينَئِذٍ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ
Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Qutaibah bin Sa'id] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Laits] --Lewat jalur periwayatan lain-- dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Rumh] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [al-Laits] dari [Abu az-Zubair] dari [Jabir] bahwasanya dia berkata, "Sesungguhnya Rasulullah mengutusku untuk suatu urusan. (Setelah aku kembali), aku -dalam keadaan berjalan- mendapati beliau -Qutaibah berkata, 'sedang shalat'-. Lalu aku memberi salam kepada beliau, maka beliau hanya memberi isyarat kepadaku. Setelah selesai shalat, beliau memanggilku, seraya bersabda, 'Tadi engkau memberi salam kepadaku, padahal aku sedang shalat.' Ketika itu beliau menghadap ke timur." (HR. Muslim: 839)
Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent me on an errand. I (having done the business assigned to me came back and) joined him as he was going (on a ride). Qutaiba said that he was saying prayer while he rode. I greeted him. He gestured to me. When he completed the prayer. he called me and said: You greeted me just now while I was engaged in prayer. (Qutaiba said): His (Prophet's face) was towards the east, as he was praying. (Muslim: 839)
