1270. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sat during the prayer, he put his hands on his knees and raised the finger that is next to the thumb, and supplicates with it, and his left hand was on his knee laid on it. (Sahih)
1269 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا جَلَسَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَرَفَعَ أُصْبُعَهُ الَّتِي تَلِي الْإِبْهَامَ فَدَعَا بِهَا، وَيَدُهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى رُكْبَتِهِ بَاسِطُهَا عَلَيْهَا»

In some narrations, there is mention of keeping the hands on the thighs and in some on the knees. The reconciliation between them could be that the palms ought to be on the thighs and the fingers upon the knees. In some narrations, this manner is also explicitly mentioned. But considering the narrations concerning the thigh, some scholars have deemed it permissible to place the whole hand on the thigh also. But it is superior to put all narrations into practice.
