Majma al-Zawaid 17333 — Pointing with the finger and raising the hands
وَعَنْ خَلَّادِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَانَ إِذَا سَأَلَ جَعَلَ بَاطِنَ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَيْهِ ، وَإِذَا اسْتَعَاذَ جَعَلَ ظَاهِرَهُمَا إِلَيْهِ . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ مُرْسَلًا ، وَإِسْنَادُهُ حَسَنٌ .
