أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ
بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِحَاجَةٍ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكْتُهُ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيَّ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ دَعَانِي فَقَالَ «إِنَّكَ سَلَّمْتَ عَلَيَّ آنِفًا وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي» وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مُوَجَّهٌ حِينَئِذٍ إِلَى الْمَشْرِقِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me on an errand, then I caught up with him while he was praying, so I greeted him, and he gestured to me. When he finished, he called me and said: “You greeted me just now while I was praying.” And at that time he was facing toward the east.
