nasai-kubra:1193Muḥammad b. Rāfiʿ > ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Maʿmar > ʿUbaydullāh > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet ﷺ used to sit during prayer, putting his hands on his knees and raising his right finger which was next to his thumb, supplicating with it, and with his left hand (spread out) on his knee. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 913)  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٩٣أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ «إِذَا جَلَسَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَضْعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَرَفَعَ إِصْبُعَهُ الَّتِي تَلِي الْإِبْهَامَ يَدْعُو بِهَا وَيَدُهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى رُكْبَتَهُ بَاسِطُهَا عَلَيْهَا»  

nasai-kubra:1194Ayyūb b. Muḥammad al-Wazzān > Ḥajjāj > Ibn Jurayj > Ziyād > Muḥammad b. ʿAjlān > ʿĀmir b. ʿAbdullāh b. al-Zubayr > ʿAbdullāh b. al-Zubayr

That the Prophet ﷺ used to point with his finger when he supplicated, but he did not move it. Ibn Jurayj said: "And 'Amr added: 'Amir bin 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair told me that his father saw the Prophet ﷺ supplicating like that, putting his weight on his left arm, leaning on his left leg.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1270)  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٩٤أَخْبَرَنِي أَيُّوبُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْوَزَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي زِيَادٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ «يُشِيرُ بِإِصْبُعِهِ إِذَا دَعَا وَلَا يُحَرِّكُهَا» قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ وَزَادَ عَمْرٌو قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَدْعُو كَذَلِكَ وَيَتَحَامَلُ بِيَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى رِجْلِهِ الْيُسْرَى
