Arabic text

1272 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ الْقَعْقَاعِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَدْعُو بِأُصْبُعَيْهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَحِّدْ، أَحِّدْ»

Commentary

“Supplicated with two fingers”: He must have done so with two fingers of his right hand, and it is also probable that he did so with the fingers next to the thumbs of both the hands. Since, this pointing is the practical pointing of the Oneness of Allâh (the Tawhîd), it should be done with one finger only.
