Sunan an-Nasa'i 1267
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ رَآنِي ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَأَنَا أَعْبَثُ، بِالْحَصَى فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ نَهَانِي وَقَالَ اصْنَعْ كَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَصْنَعُ . قُلْتُ وَكَيْفَ كَانَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ كَانَ إِذَا جَلَسَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ وَضَعَ كَفَّهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ وَقَبَضَ - يَعْنِي أَصَابِعَهُ كُلَّهَا - وَأَشَارَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ الَّتِي تَلِي الإِبْهَامَ وَوَضَعَ كَفَّهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُسْرَى .
Qutaybah ibn Sa‘id reported to us, from Malik, from Muslim ibn Abi Maryam, from ‘Ali ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman, who said: Ibn ‘Umar saw me playing with pebbles during the prayer. When he had finished, he forbade me and said: “Do as the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to do.” I said: “What did he used to do?” He said: “When he sat during the prayer, he placed his right palm on his thigh, clenched all his fingers, and pointed with the finger next to the thumb. He placed his left palm on his left thigh.”
