[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to place his right hand on his right thigh, and his left hand on his left thigh. He would point with his index finger and place his thumb on his middle finger. He would also place his left palm on his left knee. This is narrated in the hadith of Abu Khalid Al-Ahmar, and in the narration of Layth ibn Saad it is mentioned that he would place his hand on his knee and point with his index finger.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَعَدَ يَدْعُو وَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَيَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُسْرَى وَأَشَارَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ السَّبَّابَةِ وَوَضَعَ إِبْهَامَهُ عَلَى أُصْبُعِهِ الْوُسْطَى وَيُلْقِمُ كَفَّهُ الْيُسْرَى رُكْبَتَهُ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ كَانَ إِذَا قَعَدَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى رُكْبَتِهِ وَأَشَارَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ
