أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ - عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَعَافِرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَجُلاً يُحَرِّكُ الْحَصَى بِيَدِهِ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لاَ تُحَرِّكِ الْحَصَى وَأَنْتَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَلَكِنِ اصْنَعْ كَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَصْنَعُ . قَالَ وَكَيْفَ كَانَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَأَشَارَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ الَّتِي تَلِي الإِبْهَامَ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ وَرَمَى بِبَصَرِهِ إِلَيْهَا أَوْ نَحْوِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَصْنَعُ .
‘Ali ibn Hujr reported to us, saying: Isma‘il—namely, Ibn Ja‘far—reported to us, from Muslim ibn Abi Maryam, from ‘Ali ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Ma‘afiri, from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Umar, that he saw a man moving pebbles with his hand during prayer. When he finished, ‘Abd Allah said to him, “Do not move pebbles while you are praying, for that is from Satan. Rather, do as the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to do.” The man asked, “What did he used to do?” He replied, “He placed his right hand on his right thigh and pointed toward the qiblah with the finger next to the thumb, directing his gaze toward it or thereabouts.” Then he said, “This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) do it.”
