صَلَّيْتُ فِي مَسْجِدِ بَنِي غِفَارٍ، فَلَمَّا جَلَسْتُ جَعَلْتُ أَدْعُو وَأُشِيرُ بِأُصْبُعٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ خُفَافُ بْنُ إِيمَاءَ الْغِفَارِيُّ، وَأَنَا كَذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: مَا تُرِيدُ بِهَذَا حِينَ تُشِيرُ بِأُصْبُعٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَدْعُو اللهَ وَأَسْأَلُهُ، قَالَ: نِعْمَ مَا صَنَعْتَ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ: إِنَّمَا يَسْحَرُ بِهَا. كَذَبَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ، إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ الْإِخْلَاصُ
✧ I prayed in the mosque of Banu Ghifar. When I sat down, I started supplicating and pointing with one finger. Khufaf b. Ayma' al-Ghifari entered upon me while I was doing that, and he said: 'What do you intend by pointing with one finger?' He said: I said: 'I am supplicating to Allah and asking Him.' He said: 'How well you have done. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do that.' The polytheists said: 'He only uses it for magic.' The polytheists have lied. Indeed, that is sincerity.

رَكَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَقَالَ: غِفَارُ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهَا، وَأَسْلَمُ سَالَمَهَا اللهُ، وَعُصَيَّةُ عَصَتِ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ بَنِي لِحْيَانَ، وَالْعَنْ رِعْلًا وَذَكْوَانَ "، ثُمَّ وَقَعَ سَاجِدًا
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ bowed, then raised his head and said: 'Ghifar, may Allah forgive it; Aslam, may Allah keep it safe; and Usayyah have disobeyed Allah and His Messenger. O Allah, curse Banu Lihyan, and curse Ri'l and Dhakwan.' Then he fell into prostration.
