عَنْ مَيْمُونٍ الْمَكِّيِّ أَنَّهُ رَأَى ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَصَلَّى بِهِمْ يُشِيرُ بِكَفَّيْهِ حِينَ يَقُومُ وَحِينَ يَرْكَعُ وَحِينَ يَسْجُدُ وَحِينَ يَنْهَضُ لِلْقِيَامِ فَيَقُومُ فَيُشِيرُ بِيَدَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ صَلَّى صَلَاةً لَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا يُصَلِّيهَا، فَوَصَفَ لَهُ هَٰذِهِ الْإِشَارَةَ، فَقَالَ: إِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ أَنْ تَنْظُرَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاقْتَدِ بِصَلَاةِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ
It is narrated from Maymun Makki that he saw Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) leading the prayer. When he would stand, bow (ruku‘), prostrate (sajda), and stand up for qiyam, he would gesture with his palms. Maymun Makki says: I went to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) and said that the prayer which Ibn Zubair offers, I have not seen anyone else offering such a prayer, and then I mentioned the gestures with the hands. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: If you wish to see the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then follow the prayer of Sayyiduna Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him).
