What is the meaning of the hadith: (So he gestured to him, saying: "As you are")?

The questioner : Here in the hadith, regarding his statement: What is the function of "that" (an) here?

The Shaykh : This "that" (an) is explanatory because it occurred after a phrase containing the meaning of speech. Whenever a phrase contains the meaning of speech without its actual letters, and "that" (an) follows it, it is explanatory, like where the meaning of speech is indicated, so "that" (an) is explanatory. As for his statement , it is possible that it means "as you are upon," in which case "what" (ma) is a relative pronoun. It is also possible that it means "as you are," i.e., as your condition is, in which case "what" (ma) is a nominalizer. Yes.
