Hadith #15
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ حَدَّثَنِي مُسَيَّبُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ طَرَفَةَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ
وَهُمْ حِلَقٌ فَقَالَ مَا لِي أَرَاكُمْ عِزِينَ وَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَقَدْ رَفَعُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ فَقَالَ قَدْ رَفَعُوهَا كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ خَيْلٍ شُمْسٍ اسْكُنُوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Jabir ibn Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the mosque and saw the people sitting in circles. He said: 'Why do I see you scattered about?' Then he entered the mosque and saw them raise their hands during prayer. He said: 'They raise their hands as if they are tails of wild horses — be still during prayer.'
