913. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet ﷺ 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)
913 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، كَانَ إِذَا جَلَسَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَرَفَعَ إِصْبَعَهُ الْيُمْنَى الَّتِي تَلِي الْإِبْهَامَ، فَيَدْعُو بِهَا، وَالْيُسْرَى عَلَى رُكْبَتِهِ بَاسِطَهَا عَلَيْهَا»

a. Pointing with finger is done only in Tashah-hud and not during the worshiper's sitting between the two prostrations. The words 'Sitting during prayer' in the context of this Hadith mean, as was made clear under Hadith: 912, sitting for Tashah-hud. b. The left hand, during Tashah-hud, shall be in the same position as usual during the sitting between the two prostrations. The position for the right hand as described in this Hadith is as follows: Making a ring by joining the thumb with the middle finger and raising the forefinger (also known as the finger of attestation, which is next to the thumb) and pointing with it. The two remaining fingers are kept closed. (Sunan Abu Dâwud: 987) Another version reported in this connection is as follows: Putting the thumb on the lowest part of the forefinger and closing the remaining three fingers. This has been described in Ahâdith as forming a ring like fifty-three (figures used in Arabic)(Sahih Muslim: 115)
