Jabir bin Samurah said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم entered upon us while the people were raising their hands. The narrator Zubair said: I think (they were raising the hands) during prayer. He (the prophet) said: What is the matter, I see you raising your hands as if they are the tails of restive horses! Maintain tranquility during prayer.

Jabir bin Samurah said: When we prayed behind the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم , one of us gave the salutation and pointed with his hand to the man to his right side and left side. When he finished his prayer, he said: What is the matter that one of you points with his hand (during prayer) just like the tails of restive horses. It is sufficient for one of you, or is it not sufficient for one of you to say in this manner? And he pointed with his finger; one should salute his brother at his right and left side.
