ابن حبّان:٨٨٤أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ الصُّوفِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَبْصَرَ رَجُلًا يَدْعُو بِأُصْبُعَيْهِ جَمِيعًا فَنَهَاهُ وَقَالَ بِإِحْدَاهُمَا بِالْيُمْنَى
