Abu Qurra al-Khurasani said, "I saw Anas pass by us and he indicated to us with his hand that he was giving the greeting., The gesture made that clear. I saw al-Hasan using yellow dye while wearing a black turban. Asma' said, 'The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, waved his hand to indicate the greeting to women."  

وَقَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ أَلْوَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى النِّسَاءِ بِالسَّلامِ  

Sa'd reported that he went with 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar and al-Qasim ibn Muhammad. They stopped at place and 'Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr commanded and made a gesture of greeting to them and it was answered.  

أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَمَعَ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّى إِذَا نَزَلاَ سَرِفًا مَرَّ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالسَّلاَمِ فَرَدَّا عَلَيْهِ  

'Ata' ibn Abi Rabah said, "They used to dislike a greeting made with the hand," or he said, "He disliked greeting with the hand."  

عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ قَالَ كَانُوا يَكْرَهُونَ التَّسْلِيمَ بِالْيَدِ أَوْ قَالَ كَانَ يَكْرَهُ التَّسْلِيمَ بِالْيَدِ
