ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصَلِّيَ فِي التَّشَهُّدِ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَضَعَ كَفَّهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُسْرَى وَرُكْبَتِهِ، وَالْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُمْنَى مِنْهَا

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to sit in the tashahhud position with his left foot laid flat, his right foot upright, and his thumb placed on the middle finger. He would point with his index finger and place his left hand on his left thigh. He would also rest his left hand on his left knee."  

ابن حبّان:١٩٤٣أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ مُجَاشِعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا جَلَسَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ افْتَرَشَ الْيُسْرَى وَنَصَبَ الْيُمْنَى وَوَضَعَ إِبْهَامَهُ عَلَى الْوُسْطَى وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ وَوَضَعَ كَفَّهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُسْرَى وَأَلْقَمَ كَفَّهُ الْيُسْرَى رُكْبَتَهُ»
