It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while going towards Banu Mustaliq, sent me on an errand. When I returned, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying facing towards the east on his camel. I wanted to speak, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his hand, and this happened twice. Then I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reciting (Qur'an), and he was indicating with his head. After completing the prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What happened to the task for which I sent you?" I did not reply because I was praying.
