[970] 120 – (431) It was narrated that Jâbir bin Samurah said: "When we prayed with the Messenger of Allah ij we used to say (at the completion of prayers): 'As-salâmu 'alaikum wa rahmatullâh, as-salâmu 'alaikum wa raifimatullâh (Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah. Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah)," and he gestured with his hand to either side. "The Messenger of Allah jii, said: 'Why do you gesture with your hands as if they were the tails of restive horses?' Rather it is sufficient for one of you to put his hand on his thigh then say the Salâm to his brothers to his right and left."
