Arabic text

911 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ عِصَامِ بْنِ قُدَامَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ الْخُزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَاضِعًا يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى فِي الصَّلَاةِ، وَيُشِيرُ بِإِصْبَعِهِ»

a. Pointing with the finger in Tashah-hud is a part of Sunnah. b. Only the right hand finger should be used for pointing. (See:913) c. The position of the hand during pointing shall be discussed in the coming Ahādīth.
