أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ الْمَوْصِلِيُّ عَنْ الْمُعَافَی عَنْ عِصَامِ بْنِ قُدَامَةَ عَنْ مَالِکٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاضِعًا يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَی عَلَی فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَی فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَيُشِيرُ بِأُصْبُعِهِ
