حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ رَأَی عُمَارَةُ بْنُ رُوَيْبَةَ بِشْرَ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ وَهُوَ يَدْعُو فِي يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ فَقَالَ عُمَارَةُ قَبَّحَ اللَّهُ هَاتَيْنِ الْيَدَيْنِ قَالَ زَائِدَةُ قَالَ حُصَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَارَةُ قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَلَی الْمِنْبَرِ مَا يَزِيدُ عَلَی هَذِهِ يَعْنِي السَّبَّابَةَ الَّتِي تَلِي الْإِبْهَامَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1104
Umarah bin Ruwaibah said that he saw Bishr bin Marwan (on the pulpit) praying on Friday (by raising his hands). Umarah said: May Allah reject these hands! I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the pulpit gesturing no more than this pointing with his forefinger.
