Sunan Abi Dawud, 987

Rapporté par ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Mu’awl : ‘Abd Allah b. ‘Umar me vit jouer avec des cailloux pendant la prière. Quand il eut terminé, il me l’interdit et dit : « Fais comme le Messager d’Allah ﷺ faisait. » Je lui ai demandé : « Comment faisait le Messager d’Allah ﷺ ? » Il répondit : « Quand il s’asseyait pendant la prière pour réciter le tashahhud, il posait sa main droite sur sa cuisse droite, serrait tous ses doigts et pointait le doigt à côté du pouce, et il posait sa main gauche sur sa cuisse gauche. »

’Abd al-Rahman al-Mu’awl said:‘Abd Allah b. ‘Umar saw me playing with pebbles during prayer. When he finished his prayer, he forbade me (to do so) and said: Do as the Apostle (ﷺ) used to do. I asked him: How would the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) do? He said: When he sat during the prayer (for reciting the tashahhud), he placed his right hand on his right thigh, and clenched all his fingers, and pointed with the finger which is adjacent to the thumb, and he placed his left hand on his left thigh
