hakim:7903 – Abū Bakr b. Isḥāq > al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī b. Ziyād > ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. ʿAbdullāh al-Ūwaysī > Sulaymān b. Bilāl > ʿAbbās b. ʿAbdullāh b. Maʿbad b. ʿAbbās > Akhīh Ibrāhīm > Ibn ʿAbbās > Rasūl Allāh

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "This is how sincerity is indicated, with the finger next to the thumb. And this is the supplication, he raised his hands to the level of his shoulders. And this is the imploring, he raised his hands while extending them."  

الحاكم:٧٩٠٣ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَنْبَأَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأُوَيْسِيُّ ثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ عَنْ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «هَكَذَا الْإِخْلَاصُ يُشِيرُ بِإِصْبَعِهِ الَّتِي تَلِي الْإِبْهَامَ وَهَذَا الدُّعَاءُ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَهَذَا الِابْتِهَالُ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ مَدًّا »
