Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا قَعَدَ فِي التَّشَهُّدِ وَضَعَ كَفَّهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُسْرَى وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ لاَ يُجَاوِزُ بَصَرُهُ إِشَارَتَهُ .
Translation
Ya‘qub ibn Ibrahim reported to us; he said: Yahya reported to us, from Ibn ‘Ajlan, from ‘Amir ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, from his father, that when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sat for the tashahhud, he placed his left palm on his left thigh and pointed with his index finger; his gaze did not go beyond his pointing finger.
