Maymun Makki says that he once saw Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them) leading the people in prayer. When he would stand, bow, and prostrate, he would gesture with his palms, and when rising from prostration to standing, he would gesture with both hands. Upon seeing this, I went to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) and told him that I had seen Sayyiduna Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them) praying in a manner I had never seen anyone pray before. I also mentioned the gestures to him. He said, "If you want to see a prayer like that of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then follow the prayer of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them)."
