حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَی وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَإِسْحَقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ إِذَا جَلَسَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَی رُکْبَتَيْهِ وَرَفَعَ إِصْبَعَهُ الْيُمْنَی الَّتِي تَلِي الْإِبْهَامَ فَيَدْعُو بِهَا وَالْيُسْرَی عَلَی رُکْبَتِهِ بَاسِطَهَا عَلَيْهَا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 913
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet P.B.U.H used to sit during prayer, putting his hands on his knees and raising his right finger which was next to his thumb, supplicating with it, and with his left hand (spread out) on his knee. (Sahih)
