Husayn bin Abdur Rahman Salmi says: I was sitting beside Sayyiduna ‘Ammarah bin Ru’aybah Salmi (may Allah be pleased with him) while Bishr was delivering the Friday sermon. Whenever he made supplication, he would raise both his hands. Seeing this, Sayyiduna ‘Ammarah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: May Allah destroy these insignificant hands! I myself saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivering the sermon; when he supplicated, he would do it like this. Then he raised his index finger to clarify.
