English translation

3466. It was narrated that Anas said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ had a Persian neighbor who was good at making soup. He came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ one day when ‘Aishah was with him, and gestured to him with his hand to come. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ gestured toward ‘Aishah – meaning: ‘What about her?’ – and the man gestured to him like this, meaning, ‘No,’ two or three times.” (Sahih)

Arabic text

3436 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: «كَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَارٌ فَارِسِيٌّ طَيِّبُ الْمَرَقَةِ، فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَعِنْدَهُ عَائِشَةُ، فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ تَعَالَ، وَأَوْمَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ أَيْ وَهَذِهِ، فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ الْآخَرُ هَكَذَا بِيَدِهِ، أَنْ لَا مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا»

Commentary

The speech-impaired also might need to divorce. But since they can communicate by gestures only, the gesticulation ought to be held reliable. The gesture, however, should be clear so that the intention or the implicit meaning is unmistakably comprehended.
