English translation

[1206] 37 - (...) It was narrated that Jâbir said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ sent me (on an errand) as he was setting out towards Banû Al-Muştaliq. I came to him while he was praying atop his camel. I spoke to him, and he gestured to me with his hand like this" - Zuhair gestured with his hand - "then I spoke to him again and he gestured to me like this” - Zuhair gestured again with his hand, towards the ground. “I would hear him reciting, and he was gesturing with his head. When he had finished he said: ‘What did you do with that for which I sent you? Nothing kept me from speaking to you except the fact that I was praying.’” Zuhair said: “Abû Az-Zubair was sitting facing towards the Ka'bah, and Abû Az-Zubair gestured with his hand towards Banû Al-Muṣṭaliq, and he gestured with his hand in a direction other than the Ka'bah.”

37 - (540) حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: أَرْسَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مُنْطَلِقٌ إِلَى بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ فَكَلَّمْتُهُ، فَقَالَ لِي بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا - وَأَوْمَأَ زُهَيْرٌ بِيَدِهِ - ثُمَّ كَلَّمْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي هَكَذَا - فَأَوْمَأَ زُهَيْرٌ أَيْضًا بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَ الْأَرْضِ - وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُهُ يَقْرَأُ، يُومِئُ بِرَأْسِهِ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ: «مَا فَعَلْتَ فِي الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتُكَ لَهُ؟ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أُكَلِّمَكَ إِلَّا أَنِّي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي» قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ: وَأَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ جَالِسٌ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْكَعْبَةِ، فَقَالَ: بِيَدِهِ أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ إِلَى بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ فَقَالَ: بِيَدِهِ إِلَى غَيْرِ الْكَعْبَةِ
