أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَعَاوِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ
أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَجُلًا يُحَرِّكُ الْحَصَى بِيَدِهِ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ «لَا تُحَرِّكِ الْحَصَى وَأَنْتَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَلَكِنِ اصْنَعْ كَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ» قَالَ وَكَيْفَ كَانَ يَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ «فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ وَأَشَارَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ الَّتِي تَلِي الْإِبْهَامَ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ وَرَمَى بِبَصَرِهِ إِلَيْهَا أَوْ نَحْوَهَا» ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ

✧ That he saw a man moving pebbles with his hand while he was in prayer. When he finished, Abdullah said to him, “Do not move the pebbles while you are in prayer, for that is from Satan. Rather, do as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do.” He said, “How did he used to do?” He said, “He placed his right hand on his thigh and pointed with the finger next to the thumb toward the qiblah, and he fixed his gaze upon it or in its direction.” Then he said, “This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do.”
