\n\n \nYahya related to me from Malik from Muslim ibn Abi Maryam that\nAIi ibn Abd ar-Rahman al-Muawi said, "Abdullah ibn Umar saw me playing\nwith some small pebbles in the prayer. When I finished he forbade me,\nsaying, 'Do as the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant\nhim peace, did.' I said, 'What did the Messenger of Allah, may Allah\nbless him and grant him peace, do?' He said, 'When he sat in the\nprayer, he placed his right hand on his right thigh and he closed his\nfist and pointed his index finger, and he placed his left hand on his\nleft thigh. That is what he used to do.' "\n\n

\nحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُعَاوِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ رَآنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَأَنَا أَعْبَثُ بِالْحَصْبَاءِ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفْتُ نَهَانِي وَقَالَ اصْنَعْ كَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَصْنَعُ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ وَكَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَصْنَعُ قَالَ كَانَ إِذَا جَلَسَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ وَضَعَ كَفَّهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَقَبَضَ أَصَابِعَهُ كُلَّهَا وَأَشَارَ بِأَصْبُعِهِ الَّتِي تَلِي الإِبْهَامَ وَوَضَعَ كَفَّهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُسْرَى وَقَالَ هَكَذَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ ‏.‏
