Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 1792 — 2 - Chapter on the Sitting Posture
عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا جَلَسَ فِي التَّشَهُّدِ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَيَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُسْرَى وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ وَلَمْ يُجَاوِزْ بَصَرُهُ إِشَارَتَهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sat in Tashahhud, he would place his right hand on his right thigh and his left hand on his left thigh, and he would gesture with his index finger, and his gaze would not go beyond his gesture.
