Allah, disfigure these hands! I have seen Messenger of Allah ﷺ gesture no more than this with his hands, and he pointed with his forefinger.

مسلم:٨٧٣ج – وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ رُؤَيْبَةَ قَالَ رَأَى بِشْرَ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ رَافِعًا يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ

قَبَّحَ اللَّهُ هَاتَيْنِ الْيَدَيْنِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى أَنْ يَقُولَ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا وَأَشَارَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ الْمُسَبِّحَةِ

الدارمي:١٦٠١ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ قَالَ رَأَى عُمَارَةُ بْنُ رُوَيْبَةَ بِشْرَ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ رَافِعًا يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ

«قَبَّحَ اللَّهُ هَاتَيْنِ الْيَدَيْنِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَمَا يُشِيرُ إِلَّا بِإُصْبُعِهِ»

ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الْإِشَارَةِ لِلْمَرْءِ بِإِصْبَعِهِ عِنْدَ إِرَادَتِهِ الدُّعَاءَ لِلَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا

Allah, disfigure these hands! I have seen Messenger of Allah ﷺ gesture no more than this with his hands, and he pointed with his forefinger. (Using translation from Muslim 873c)
