Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ طَرَفَةَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ رَافِعِي أَيْدِينَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ مَا لِي أَرَاكُمْ رَافِعِي أَيْدِيكُمْ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ خَيْلٍ شُمْسٍ اسْكُنُوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ وَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ وَنَحْنُ حِلَقٌ مُتَفَرِّقُونَ فَقَالَ مَا لِي أَرَاكُمْ عِزِينَ.
English Translation
Waki' told us, al-A'mash told us, from al-Musayyab ibn Rafi', from Tamim ibn Tarafah, from Jabir ibn Samurah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came in to us while we were raising our hands in the prayer, and he said: "What is the matter with me, that I see you raising your hands as if they were the tails of unruly horses? Be still in the prayer." He said: And he came in to us in the mosque while we were sitting in separate circles, and he said: "What is the matter with me, that I see you in separate groups?"
