حَدِيثُ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Hadith of Sahl bin Sa'd al-Sa'idi, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7551 — I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raising
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذُبَابٍ ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ : مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - شَاهِرًا يَدَيْهِ يَدْعُو عَلَى مِنْبَرٍ ، وَلَا عَلَى غَيْرِهِ ، وَلَكِنْ رَأَيْتُهُ ، يَقُولُ هَكَذَا ، وَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ : بِإِصْبَعِهِ السَّبَّاحَةِ مِنْ يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى فَقَوَّسَهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him): "I never saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) raising both his hands (spread out) while supplicating, whether on the pulpit or anywhere else; rather, I saw him (peace and blessings be upon him) pointing like this." And the narrator Abu Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him), describing how it was done, said: "He (peace and blessings be upon him) would point with the index finger of his right hand," and he showed it by bending his finger slightly.
