4. Friday Ṣalāh (Jumuʿah)
٤۔ كِتَابُ الْجُمُعَةِ
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)
قَبَّحَ اللهُ هَاتَيْنِ الْيَدَيْنِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى أَنْ يَقُولَ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا وَأَشَارَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ الْمُسَبِّحَةِ
Bishr bin Marwan raised his hands on Friday on the minbar, and 'Umarah bin Ruwaibah condemned him and said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did no more than this,' and he pointed with his forefinger. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1412)
وَشَتَمَهُ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا وَأَشَارَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ السَّبَابَةِ
Not raising hands in dua during the Friday khutbah except for rain prayer
“I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ever raising his hands, making dua upon his pulpit or elsewhere; rather, I saw him say: ‘Like this,’ and he gestured with the forefinger, and joined the middle finger with the thumb.
«مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَاهِرًا يَدَيْهِ قَطُّ، يَدْعُو عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ وَلَا عَلَى غَيْرِهِ، وَلَكِنْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَقُولُ: هَكَذَا، وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ، وَعَقَدَ الْوُسْطَى بِالْإِبْهَامِ.
