أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ إِذَا جَلَسَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَی رُکْبَتَيْهِ وَرَفَعَ أُصْبُعَهُ الَّتِي تَلِي الْإِبْهَامَ فَدَعَا بِهَا وَيَدُهُ الْيُسْرَی عَلَی رُکْبَتِهِ بَاسِطُهَا عَلَيْهَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1274
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that when the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم sat during the prayer, he put his hands on his knees and raised the finger that is next to the thumb, and supplicates with it, and his left hand was on his knee laid on it. (Sahih).
