It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me on an errand towards Banu Mustaliq. When I returned, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying on his camel. I wanted to speak, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his hand. After finishing the prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What happened regarding the task for which I sent you?" I did not reply because I was praying at that time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was facing towards the east.
