Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I have not seen the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) raising his hands while supplicating on his pulpit or elsewhere, but I have seen him doing like this, and he (peace be upon him) gestured by moving his index finger. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that by Abdur Rahman bin Mu’awiyah is meant Abu’l-Huwairith Madani.
