A man was praying beside Ibn Umar and began fidgeting with the pebbles. Ibn Umar said to him, "Do not play with the pebbles, for that is from Satan. Rather, do as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do." He said, "Like this," and Wahib showed us, and Affan described it. He placed his left hand and spread his fingers on his left knee, and placed his right hand on his right knee as though clenching it, and pointed with his index finger.
