English translation
927. 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ once visited Qubā' to pray in it. The Anṣār came to him while he was praying, and said Salām. I asked Bilāl: 'Did you see how the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ responded to the Anṣār when they gave him Salām?' He replied: 'He would motion such,' and he extended his palm." Ja'far bin 'Awn (one of the narrators) demonstrated how he did this by extending his palm, and keeping the inner palm facing the ground, while the outer palm faced upwards. (Sahih)
